Saint Anselm earned the No. 1 seed in the NCAA East Regional, and therefore the right to host the upcoming weekend, after winning the Northeast Division title in the NE10 regular-season and finishing with an overall record of 22-5 (18-3 NE10). The Hawks will play ECC champion Molloy in the first round. Three other NE10 programs join Saint Anselm in the top four of the East Regional seedings. NE10 champion Merrimack leaped into the No. 2 spot after a three-game run through the league championship, while Le Moyne grabs No. 3 with an 18-9 record and New Haven sits at No. 4.
