Le Moyne (15-12, 9-10 NE-10), which dropped into a tie with the Yellow Jackets for the fourth seed in the Southwest Division, closes out the regular season on Tuesday at home against Pace University (12-15, 6-13 NE-10) at 5:00 p.m. The Dolphins will claim the fourth seed with a win over the Setters and an AIC loss to Southern Connecticut State. A Le Moyne loss or an AIC win pushes the Dolphins into the fifth seed. As the fourth seed, the Dolphins would host Saint Michael's, Saint Anselm or Bentley on Friday, February 27.
