In non-conference action, Lesley will take on schools from a variety of conferences including Conference of New England (CNE), New England Men's and Women's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC), University Athletic Association (UAA), Little East Conference (LEC), and Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletics Conference (MASCAC).
