CAMBRIDGE, Mass.- Despite a 9-7 loss to Stony Brook on Saturday, Albany has earned the fourth and final berth for the 2008 America East Women's Lacrosse Championship, which begins on Friday, April 25 at Boston University's Nickerson Field.

The Great Danes (8-8, 2-4 America East) finished in a three-way tie for fourth with the Seawolves (8-6, 2-4 America East) and UMBC (4-12, 2-4 America East). Albany, which received the bid because it allowed the fewest goals in games involving the other two tied teams, will face the top-seeded Terriers (13-2, 6-0 America East) in the first semifinal on Friday at 1 p.m.

No. 2 Vermont (7-8, 4-1 America East) will take on No. 3 New Hampshire (11-4, 4-2 America East) in the other semifinal at 4 p.m. on Friday.
