Postseason Picture

A Quinnipiac win against Monmouth would put the Bobcats at 5-0 and Monmouth at 3-1 with two games to play. In that scenario, should Quinnipiac lose to Fairfield on Sunday, Nov. 1 and Monmouth defeat Siena (10/3) and Bryant (11/1) in their final two games, Quinnipiac would still win the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship, by virture of head-to-head tiebreaker, and host the 2015 MAAC Tournament on Nov. 6-8.
A Monmouth win on Sunday would put Quinnipiac at 4-1 and Monmouth at 4-0. In that scenario, Quinnipiac would have to defeat Fairfield on Nov. 1 and Monmouth would have to lose both games against Siena and Bryant for Quinnipiac to host the MAAC Tournament.
Should Siena, at 2-1, win its final three games they would stand at 5-1, which would have to include a win against Monmouth. Should Quinnipiac, Monmouth and Siena all finish the year at 5-1, Quinnipiac would win the regular-season title with wins against the Hawks and Saints, while Monmouth and Siena would both be 1-1 against the other two teams.
