St. Lawrence and Amherst are two of the eight teams remaining in the tournament and the winner will take on the winner of Ithaca and Tufts on Sunday afternoon. In the Southern half of the bracket, Gettysburg takes on York (PA) at 4 pm Wednesday and Salisbury hosts Denison at 7 pm Wednesday. The winner of those two games will also play Sunday for a chance to advance to the Championship Game at 1 pm Sunday, May 29 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA.

St. Lawrence is making its 11th NCAA Division III Tournament appearance (which began in 1980) and has already doubled its all-time NCAA Tournament wins total. The team entered the 2016 tournament with an overall 2-10 record in NCAA games and advanced to the second round in the tournament in 2006 and again in 2009. This is the first appearance in the third round since the 1979 team, in the NCAA Division II-III Tournament lost in the semifinals to the eventual National Champion Adelphi after defeating Hobart and Ohio Wesleyan.
