Dickinson locked up the No. 1 seed for the second year in a row while Franklin & Marshall clinched the fifth and final playoff spot as the Centennial Conference men's lacrosse regular season wrapped up on Friday and Saturday.
The defending-champion Red Devils (13-3, 7-1 CC) topped Ursinus 15-10 on Saturday to secure the top seed and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. Dickinson will host one of the two semifinal matchups on Friday and will take on the winner of Tuesday's first round matchup between fifth-seeded Franklin & Marshall (8-7, 4-4 CC) and fourth-seeded Muhlenberg (11-5, 5-3 CC). The Diplomats clinched the final playoff spot with a 20-5 win at McDaniel on Friday night, while the Mules were idle this weekend and had already been locked into the No. 4 seed.

The Garnet (13-2, 7-1 CC) earned the No. 2 seed and will host No. 3 Gettysburg (12-3, 6-2 CC) in Friday's other semifinal. This will mark the third CC tournament appearance for Swarthmore and first since 2017. The Bullets concluded the regular season with a 26-13 triumph over Washington College.
