With the departure of Le Moyne following the 2023 season, the NE10 is as wide open as it's ever been heading into this spring. The Dolphins' 16 NE10 Championship titles are the most in conference history, with Adelphi sitting as the conference's active leader at four. The Panthers last won it all in 2022, the most recent championship for an active NE10 team dating back Pace in 1999.
At 8-2, Adelphi finished tied with Bentley for second in the 2023 regular season standings.
Last year the NE10 saw four teams advance to the NCAA Championship: Le Moyne, Bentley, Adelphi and Saint Anselm. Le Moyne and Saint Anselm both advanced to the quarterfinals while Bentley and Adelphi were eliminated by league-friendly fire.
The 2024 NE10 men's lacrosse season officially faces-off on February 14th with the NE10 Championship occurring at the high seed's campus on May 4th.
