PREVIEW! Post-Season Play for MHKY & MBB

By Owen Haas '25

Eight teams are in action and two have their seasons on the line, including the men's hockey team, which hosts Dartmouth in a best-of-three series at the Houston Field House. Men's basketball plays in the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season and softball begins its campaign in Florida. Men's lacrosse and men's tennis are also competing in the Sunshine State, while track & field heads to a last chance meet at Tufts. Baseball hosts three games with Bates, including a doubleheader on Sunday.

External spectators are allowed to attend the men's hockey playoff games, though proof of being fully vaccinated is required for admittance. All attendees must wear a mask while in the Houston Field House. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased online at https://rpiathletics.universitytickets.com/. External spectators for regular season games on the Rensselaer campus must abide by the guidelines as per a memo of February 28, 2022.

Those interested in attending the games on other school's campuses should check on the host institution's attendance policy.
