In an effort to cut costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mid-American Conference has reportedly chosen to eliminate postseason conference tournaments in eight sports, including women's lacrosse.

The Mid-American was scheduled to add women's lacrosse as a sponsored championship next season with Akron, Central Michigan, Kent State, Detroit-Mercy and Youngstown State as affiliate members. Eastern Michigan is scheduled to join in 2022.

MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher​ confirmed the news to WTOL11.

As of this time, it is unclear as to how conference champions will be determined and for how long this will be in effect.
