The Eagles (17-9) will seek their first MAC freedom title on their last day in the league. Eastern will move to the MAC Commonwealth next year.  They face a veteran Stevens Institute of Technology team looking for a MAC Freedom title in its first year in the league. The Ducks (21-4) are ranked first in the region and the Eagles are third.
