Seeding and format

The top four finishers from the regular season were seeded one through four based on conference winning percentage only. The teams played a double-elimination tournament. UMass Lowell, despite hosting the event, was not eligible to participate as it transitions from Division II. The River Hawks are expected to complete this transition and be eligible for championships in the 2017–18 academic year.[5]
