The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play.
Shields and Saint Louis have won seven straight Atlantic 10 Tournaments in a row.
The top eight teams in regular season play qualified for the tournament.
A tiebreaker was needed to determine the eighth and final seed in the tournament as Davidson and Rhode Island both finished with 4–5–1 regular season records.
The two teams met on October 27, the final day of the regular season and Davidson prevailed 2–0 in the de-facto play in game.
