Notes

edit
  1. ^ The tournament was specifically called the "North Atlantic Conference championship" from 1989 until 1996.[1]
  2. ^ Albany was the first overall seed in the tournament. However, the regular season was won by UMass Lowell.[6] UMass Lowell was ineligible for postseason play due to transitioning from Division II to Division I.[7]
