Oswego State closed out the regular season at 22-3-0 overall and 15-1-0 in the SUNYAC standings and will be in the number one seed in the tournament receiving a first round bye. The Blue Knights, who are the No. 2-seed in the SUNYAC Playoffs, will also get a first round bye with a 16-7-2 overall record and 10-5-1 in the league.
