EMMANUEL TO HOST BACK-TO-BACK GNAC LACROSSE CHAMPIONSHIPS

BOSTON, Mass. – After going undefeated throughout the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) regular season and rolling to four-consecutive quarterfinal and semifinal victories this week, Emmanuel College will host GNAC Championship games in BOTH Women's and Men's Lacrosse this weekend!

GNAC Championship action will kick off with the No. 1-seeded Emmanuel women hosting No. 2-seeded Saint Joseph's College (Maine) on Saturday afternoon (April 26th) at 1:00 PM.  The Saints, 14-2 on the season, will be seeking the program's first-ever conference championship.  They will face the 12-7 Monks, who Emmanuel edged 15-14 in overtime back on April 8th.

The conference championships will continue on Sunday (April 27th), when the No. 1-seeded Emmanuel men host the No. 3-seeded Hawks of Becker College in a 1:00 PM start.  The Saints (14-3) will face-off against the Hawks (13-4) in a rematch of the regular season contest played just two weeks ago on Clemente Field, when Emmanuel topped Becker, 12-6.

Both games will be played at Roberto Clemente Field, on Park Drive.  The winners of the men's and women's GNAC Lacrosse Championships will receive automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament, set to begin on May 7th.

Emmanuel will offer LIVESTATS for both GNAC championships.
