Per conference policy, NJIT received the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as the lone unbeaten team in the championship after the remainder of the 2021 America East Conference Championship was unable to be completed due to inclement weather. A lack of lighting at the host stadium played a crucial part in the cancelation of the championship game. NJIT was scheduled to play Stony Brook in the championship game before it was canceled.
