York in the NCAA Tournament

York is in the midst of its fifth-consecutive NCAA postseason run and sixth overall as the Spartans own a record of 10-5 in the national tournament.

How they got here

• York punched its ticket to the NCAA postseason by defeating #7 Stevenson, 11-0, in the MAC Commonwealth title game to capture the conference crown in the school's inaugural season in the MAC Commonwealth. The Spartans handed Stevenson their first-ever loss to a MAC Commonwealth opponent (76-1) since the Mustangs joined the conference in 2013 and ended Stevenson's run of seven-straight conference championships. Furthermore, the Spartans held Stevenson scoreless for the first time in program history and recorded the first-ever shutout in a Middle Atlantic Conference Championship Game. The Spartans arrived in Rochester following a 21-6 victory over Lasell in the First Round in their highest-scoring performance in an NCAA postseason game. York then knocked off a top-10 team for the second time in the NCAA Tournament by defeating #7 F&M, 13-9, in the Second Round.

Tufts went on to defeat Babson, 16-7, in the NCAA First Round and secured its spot in Rochester with a 19-15 victory over #8 St. John Fisher in the Second Round. The Jumbos fought back from a 7-4 second-quarter deficit and survived a fourth-quarter surge by the Cardinals to clinch the high-scoring victory.
