  • For the second consecutive season, the Royals secured the top seed following another stellar regular season. Scranton made program history this year, finishing Landmark Conference play with a perfect 9-0 record for the first undefeated conference season in program history. The Royals’ dominance extended to the defensive end, allowing just two goals against conference opponents all season. With a first-round bye, Scranton will await the winner of Drew and Juniata as it begins its postseason pursuit of another Landmark Conference championship.

  • The Greyhounds secured the No. 2 seed, marking Moravian's highest postseason seeding since 1983, before the program joined the Landmark Conference in 2007. Moravian earned a first-round bye and will host the winner of the Lycoming-Catholic first-round matchup in the semifinals. The Greyhounds will look to capitalize on a strong regular season and make the most of their home-field advantage as they pursue the program's first Landmark Conference title. Moravian finished the regular season with a 10-3-5 (6-1-2 Landmark) record.

  • Eight-time conference champion Catholic enters the Landmark postseason as the No. 3 seed, looking to extend its championship run and claim a fourth consecutive conference title. The Cardinals last earned the third seed in 2017 and will face Lycoming in the postseason. The programs met in the 2023 championship game, where Catholic claimed a 1-0 victory, before the Cardinals defeated the Warriors 3-0 in the 2025 semifinals. Catholic also won this year's regular-season meeting, earning a narrow 1-0 victory. 

  • After missing the postseason in 2025, Juniata returns to the Landmark playoffs for just the third time in program history. The fourth-seeded Eagles will host Drew on Saturday at Gibbel Stadium, marking the first postseason meeting between the programs. Juniata enters the matchup with momentum after earning a 2-0 victory over the Rangers during the regular season. With home-field advantage and a chance to advance to the semifinals, the Eagles will look to build on that performance and make the most of their return to the conference tournament. Juniata finished the regular season with a 9-6-2 (5-3-1 Landmark) record.

  • Drew earned the No. 5 seed for the second consecutive season, returning to the Landmark postseason in search of its first conference title since 2017 and third overall. The Rangers have missed the postseason just five times in program history (2013, 2015, 2019, 2022 and 2024), showcasing the program’s longstanding presence in the conference tournament. Drew will hit the road for the second straight year when the Rangers travel to Juniata on Saturday. After falling 2-0 to the Eagles during the regular season, Drew will look to reverse that result and earn a spot in the semifinals. The Rangers enter the tournament with an 8-5-4 (4-4-1 Landmark) record.

  • Since joining the Landmark Conference in 2023, the Warriors have qualified for the men’s soccer postseason in each of their four seasons. Lycoming closed the regular season on a high note, earning a dominant 6-0 victory over Wilkes in its regular-season finale. The Warriors now face a familiar postseason opponent in Catholic, with the two programs meeting in the tournament for the second time in the last three seasons. Catholic defeated Lycoming 1-0 in the 2023 championship game and 3-0 in the 2025 semifinals. Lycoming will look to reverse that history and carry its offensive momentum into the first-round matchup as it pursues a postseason run. The Warriors enter the tournament with an 8-9-0 (4-5-0 Landmark) record.
