Mount St. Mary's playoff picture updated

The Mountaineers' convincing 13-3 victory over Wagner cemented a berth in the four-team Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament next week at Canisius.

Freshman midfielder Jake Willertz (Mount St. Joseph) scored the first hat trick of his career, and Mount St. Mary's sprinted to a 5-1 lead after the first quarter to improve to 5-3 in the MAAC.

At this time, the Mountaineers would be the No. 2 seed by virtue of their 7-5 win against Providence two weeks ago, and they would remain the No. 2 seed (and avoid a semifinal matchup against undefeated conference leader Siena) if Manhattan beats Marist later tonight.

If Marist wins, Mount St. Mary's, Providence and Marist would have identical 5-3 league records. Since Marist has beaten the Mountaineers and the Friars have beaten Marist, the three teams would have to go to another tiebreaker.
