Six teams from two different divisions of the Central Collegiate Lacrosse Association will descend on Chelsea Stadium on April 29-30 to determine the conference champions.
The winner of the four-team Division I tournament will earn an automatic qualifying bid to the 2017 MCLA National Championships powered by Under Armour, which will be held in Orange County, Calif., from May 8-13.
Michigan State, which has won the Division I title for five straight seasons, is the No. 1 seed and will play fourth-seeded Davenport in the first semifinal. Pittsburgh and Minnesota will grind it out in the other semi.
The Division II tournament starts with a play-in game. The winner will go on to face top-seeded Grand Valley State at Chelsea Stadium after the Division I semifinals conclude.
Admission to the Chelsea Stadium is $10 per day.
