The MAAC has selected Canisius as the hosts of the 2012
Swimming & Diving and Women's Lacrosse Championships, announced by the
conference on Tuesday.
The 2012 MAAC Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving
Championships are returning to Buffalo for the second-straight year. Canisius
and Niagara are both set to host the championship at the Burt Flickinger Center
on the city campus of Erie Community College from February 16 to February 18.
Canisius will also host the MAAC Women's Lacrosse
Championship for the first time at the Demske Sports Complex. The defending
conference champions, Canisius will host two semifinal games on April 27 and

It marks the third-straight season that the Griffs will host

volleyball and softball tournaments, while hosting both the swimming &
diving and men's lacrosse championships last year.
