The top two seeds received a bye to the Semifinals of the tournament and the higher seed hosted each match. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth and fifth seeds for the tournament as both Holy Cross and Lafayette finished with identical 3–3–3 records and twelve regular season conference points.
