Mercyhurst will play in the NEC final on Tuesday, but is not eligible for the NCAA Tournament as it is in the midst of a mandatory four-year reclassification period transitioning from Division II to Division I. This means that the auto bid goes to the winner of Saturday’s semifinal between LIU and Wagner.
