The Spartans (25-5) come off of a tough two-game sweep at the hands of Molloy College in the ECC Championship Final this past weekend, but look to reset and refocus as they prepare to do battle with conference and regional foes in the East Regional Tournament, with a chance to advance to the NCAA Division II Championship Finals round, June 5-12 in Cary, North Carolina.
The 2021 East Regional tournament takes place May 27-30 and will feature a six team format, with three of the seeds going to the champions of the East Coast Conference (Molloy College), Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (Dominican College) and the Northeast-10 Conference (Southern New Hampshire University). The final three "at-large" bids will be determined by the Division II Baseball Committee, with the help of the East Regional Advisory Committee.
