The NECLL playoffs will take place over the weekend of April 28-29 at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst's Garber Field. The top four teams will receive invites to the tournament with the #1 seed playing the #4 seed and the #2 and #3 seeds playing the other game.

Schedule of Events: (all events take place on Garber Field)

Saturday, April 28
Morning: Garber Invitational Youth Tournament
3 PM: UMass varsity vs. Syracuse Varsity
7 PM: NECLL Semi-Finals Game 1
9:30: NECLL Semi-Finals Game 2

Sunday, April 29
4 PM: NECLL Championship Game

Sponsors will be announced at a later date. With the exception of the varsity game, all games are open and free to the public.

Forgot to mention, the UMass-Syracuse game will be broadcast on ESPNU.

Turns out today’s final game of the season between Worcester State College and Western New England College has some playoff implications.

If WNEC wins, seeds are:
1. UMass
2. WNEC
3. Dartmouth
4. Tufts

Therefore, Game 1 on Saturday at 7 PM will be UMass vs.Tufts and Game 2 at 9:30 PM will be WNEC vs. Dartmouth. UMass and WNEC will be the home teams.

If WSC wins, seeds become:
1. UMass
2. Dartmouth
3. WSC
4. Tufts

Therefore, Game 1 on Saturday at 7 PM will still be UMass vs. Tufts and Game 2 at 9:30 PM will be Dartmouth vs. WSC. UMass and Dartmouth will be the home teams.

In summary, this much we know: UMass and Tufts will play at 7 PM on Saturday, Dartmouth will be in the playoffs at a 2 or 3 seed, and the winner of tonight’s game is in the playoffs, the loser of tonight’s game is out.

Good luck to both teams today!

I heard that Tufts' team didn't even show up to play and UMass won by forfeit. Is this correct? If so, are they going to be penalized for missing a playoff game!?!?

Yes, that is true. I wasn't going to announce this until it was decided what penalty will be handed down. But there will defintiely be reprecussions.
