(ATLANTA) - With the Toronto Rock loss to the Rochester Knighthawks Saturday night, the Georgia Swarm (12-4) have secured a home playoff game in the East Division Semifinals. Their to-be-determined opponent will face the Swarm at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Field at Infinite Energy Arena on Monday, May 6. Faceoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.

The Swarm will be either the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the East Division. They are currently tied with the Buffalo Bandits for first in the NLL and hold the tiebreaker against the Bandits.

The Swarm punched their ticket back to their fourth-consecutive postseason with their 10th win of the season on March 15. After two more wins - the most recent coming Friday against the San Diego Seals - and the Rock loss tonight, the Swarm cannot finish worse than second in the East Division. That seeding guarantees they host the first round of the postseason.

Tickets for the East Division Semifinals are on sale now at GeorgiaSwarm.com/Playoffs. Ticket packages include two-game and four-game playoff packs and are available by calling 844-4-GASWARM.

The Swarm won their first-ever NLL World Championship in 2017 after finishing the regular season with a 13-5 record and sweeping their playoff opponents. In the 2017-18 season, they won their last six games of the regular season to finish as the East Division Regular Season Champions.

The Swarm have two regular season games remaining this season. They face the Calgary Roughnecks in Scotiabank Saddledome on Friday, April 12. Faceoff is set for 9:30 p.m. ET. Friday's game will be broadcast on the B/R Live app available through iTunes, Google Play, Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire.

The Swarm return home on Saturday, April 20 to take on the Philadelphia Wings in the regular season finale and host Fan Appreciation Night presented by Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC. Faceoff is set for 7:05 p.m. ET. Early arriving fans can receive a Swarm Team Poster courtesy of Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC and can get autographs from Swarm players on the floor postgame. Tickets are available by calling 844-4-GASWARM or by visiting GeorgiaSwarm.com/Fan.
