Seeding

The top eight teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference record and tiebreakers were used to determine seedings of teams that finished with the same record. A tiebreaker was required to determine the second and third seeds as Rhode Island and Saint Joseph's finished with identical 5–2–1 records. Rhode Island scored more points against common opponents and therefore earned the second seed, while Saint Joseph's was the third seed. Another tiebreaker was required to determine the fourth and fifth seeds as Fordham and VCU finished with identical 4–3–1 records. Fordam won the regular season matchup between the teams and was therefore the fourth seed, while VCU was the fifth seed. A final tiebreaker was required to determine the sixth and seventh seeds as Duquesne and Davidson finished with identical 3–3–2 records. Duquesne scored more points against common opponents and was awarded the sixth seed, while Davidson would be the seventh seed. [4] Dayton earned the tiebreaker for the eighth seed over UMass and George Washington due to head-to-head results between the three teams.
