Mid-American Conference women's lacrosse tournament

The Mid-American Conference announced in late 2019 that women's lacrosse would be added as a sponsored sport for the 2021 season. At that time of the announcement, only two full members of the conference had women's lacrosse teams, with Central Michigan starting play in 2016 and Kent State in 2019. Akron had started scrimmaging in September 2019 and began formal competition the following February, while Eastern Michigan had announced plans in November 2019 to have a team by 2022. As part of the MAC's announcement, two affiliate members were also introduced: Detroit Mercy and Youngstown State, both full members of the Horizon League.^[1][2] Later, in June 2020, the conference announced that Robert Morris, who was also in the process of becoming a full member of the Horizon League, would join as an affiliate for the inaugural 2021 season, for a total of six teams.^[3] Eastern Michigan began formal competition in 2023 to bring the total to seven.^[4]

Initial plans called for the tournament to begin in 2021, but in May 2020, the conference announced that the women's lacrosse tournament, along with seven other conference tournaments, would be eliminated for at least four years as a result of the financial implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[5] The following May, however, the conference reversed the decision, restoring the tournaments for all eight sports effective for the 2021–22 season.^[6] Robert Morris won the inaugural regular-season title, but no tournament was held, so the Colonials won the automatic bid to the 2021 NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship.^[7] The first tournament was held in 2022, with Central Michigan, Robert Morris, Kent State, and Youngstown State qualifying. The tournament was hosted and won by regular-season champion Central Michigan.^[8]
