Landmark Conference postseason includes both teams from the electric city. Mike Strong believes the Scranton Lady Royals are "best" nine loss team as they battle Catholic. The Scranton Royals are a top seed for the third time facing Moravian. Susquehanna will be the second seed and face Juniata. In the MAC Freedom Conference, top seeded King's meet Eastern. The lady monarchs are off to their best start since 2006-2007 season. Second seed Misericordia lady cougars secured a home game against third seed DeSales. In the men's matchup top seeded Misericordia hosts FDU-Florham. The cougars hope to get over the hump since reaching the final two years ago. Wilkes welcomes third seed Eastern to the Marts Center. Colonials and Eagles split regular season battles by each team winning on the road. In the Commonwealth Conference, third-seed Lycoming travels to Widener. The warriors struggled dropping seven of their final thirteen games after starting 12-0.
