The MAAC is shaking up the college lacrosse conference alignment.
The conference added Merrimack and Sacred Heart as full members starting July 1, 2024, a move that balloons the conference to 12 teams in women’s lacrosse and nine teams in men’s lacrosse.
But the NEC — which announced its return to men’s lacrosse with the addition of Detroit Mercy and VMI as affiliates — will shrink to five teams in men’s lacrosse, not enough for an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Tournament.
