JAMAICA, N.Y. – The York College men's basketball team has earned a berth into the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Metro Division tournament as the #7 seed.  They will visit the second-seeded Rutgers-Newark University Scarlet Raiders on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
 
York was one of four CUNYAC schools to earn a bid. Brooklyn College was tabbed as the #1 seed and will host #8 Centenary College, while fellow CUNYAC schools Lehman College and the College of Staten Island earned the #4 and #5 seeds respectively and will battle in the quarterfinals at Lehman.  In the other quarterfinal contest, #3 New York University will welcome #6 Rutgers University-Camden.
 
Should York advance, they will play the winner of New York University and Rutgers-Camden on Saturday, March 7.  The time and location for that game has not been determined yet.  The Championship game will be played on March 8.
 
York will be seeking its second ECAC Championship, with its first coming back in 1998.  They last appeared in the ECAC Tournament in 2010, advancing all the way to the Championship game before losing to Baruch College.
 
Live stats and video will be available for the quarterfinal game.
