Elon, Hofstra, Monmouth and Stony Brook have earned berths in the upcoming CAA Championship, and each of those teams – or potentially another – could be one of two to earn hosting rights in the tournament’s opening weekend.
Two key head-to-head matchups highlight Thursday’s schedule, with Towson visiting Delaware (6 p.m.) and Monmouth vs. Hofstra (7 p.m.). The day’s other two games feature top-four teams facing opponents trying to keep their seasons alive, with Northeastern visiting Stony Brook (6 p.m.) and Campbell heading to Elon (7 p.m.). All four games can be seen on FloFC.
Six Sunday afternoon games will solidify the bracket, with five at 1 p.m. Hampton visits Monmouth, Charleston is at Campbell, William & Mary heads to Towson, Elon plays UNCW and Delaware goes to Northeastern.
