  1. ^ LIU's only D-I tournament appearance to date was made by the program representing Long Island University's Post campus, known as C.W. Post when it appeared in 1986 and later as LIU Post. After the 2019 season, the university merged the athletic programs of its two main campuses, Brooklyn (then a Division I member that sponsored lacrosse only for women) and Post (which returned to Division II when the NCAA reinstated that division's men's lacrosse championship in 1993), creating a new D-I program that now competes as the LIU Sharks. The Post men's lacrosse program was converted to the LIU program, inheriting all of Post's men's lacrosse history and records.

(b) No third-place game is held, semifinal losers credited with third-place finish
