In the event of a four-way tie, Siena would be the 2, Niagara the 3, Fairfield the 4 and Iona the 5. This result comes from the MAAC's tiebreaker policy, which in instances of ties between more than 2 teams creates a "mini-conference" and uses the records of the teams in that format. With this in mind, Siena would be 4-2 (swept Niagara, split with Iona and Fairfield), Niagara 3-3 (swept Fairfield, got swept by Siena, split with Iona), Fairfield 3-3 (split with Siena, swept Iona, got swept by Niagara), and Iona 2-4 (swept by Fairfield, split with Niagara and Siena).

In three-way ties involving Fairfield, it would depend on who the other two teams are, obviously. You'd benefit from having Iona among the three but would get hurt by having Niagara there. In a three-way tie with Niagara and Siena, you guys would be fourth.

In individual tiebreakers, Fairfield would obviously finish ahead of Iona and behind Niagara. With Siena, it would depend on how the Saints do vs the Jaspers tonight. If Siena wins, then it would come down to who the FOURTH seed is--if it's Iona, you guys win out; if it's Niagara, they do!

MUCH will be clearer after tonight's Siena-Manhattan game, so stay tuned!
