Great Dane sophomore attackman has been ruled eligible and will play Tuesday vs. UMass, multiple sources have said on Twitter, citing an athletic department spokesman. Coach Scott Marr confirmed via telephone with IL Monday evening.

Just talked to Scott Marr on the phone and @UAlbanyMLax Tehoka Nanticoke is reinstated and will played tomorrow vs UMass — Matt Kinnear (@mattkinnear) March 4, 2019

Nanticoke missed UAlbany's 17-16 loss to Cornell on Saturday, and Marr explained the situation in greater detail on a Monday afternoon radio appearance. See Matt Kinnear's original story below for more on Nanticoke's ineligibility.

An official NCAA Twitter account provided some clarity on the situation just a few hours after the news of Nanticoke's ineligibility was initially reported, and about 90 minutes before news of his reinstatement was issued.

To clarify some details, Albany first reached out to the NCAA today about Tehoka Nanticoke after it withheld him from competition on Saturday. We are reviewing the facts submitted by the school to reach a resolution. — Inside the NCAA (@InsidetheNCAA) March 4, 2019

In two games this season, Nanticoke has three goals and one assist. In last season's 19-8 win over the Minutemen, he put up five goals and three assists.

Marr's comments to media multiple outlets drew national attention, seemingly implicating the NCAA for its role in Nanticoke missing the game. The NCAA commented publicly Monday in response to Marr's comments.

The Albany lacrosse coach made inaccurate statements. Here are the facts. The NCAA did not suspend Tehoka Nanticoke. Albany proactively withheld him Saturday after finding a violation. The NCAA acted on Monday, the same day Albany reached out, and said he did not need to sit. — Inside the NCAA (@InsidetheNCAA) March 5, 2019

The post at question was discovered by Albany as a potential violation, so the school pulled Nanticoke from competition. That is generally the process, an NCAA spokeswoman confirmed. The school reached out to the NCAA for its reinstatement request, which was granted Monday.

UAlbany's Tehoka Nanticoke 'Out Indefinitely' After Social Media Post

Originally posted Monday, March 4, at 2 p.m. ET

UAlbany’s Tehoka Nanticoke is serving an indefinite suspension after he tagged a stick-stringing company in a social media post.

Nanticoke did not attend Saturday’s game against Cornell, which was then described as an “internal matter.” Coach Scott Marr shed some more light on the situation during his weekly radio segment with 104.5 The Team. Check out that interview here.

"He made a mistake. He put something on Instagram that violated a rule. Of course big brother monopoly we work under doesn’t allow you to do those types of things," said Marr. "No warning, no nothing, just instant 'you’re ineligible.'"

UAlbany sports information confirmed to Inside Lacrosse Monday that he “is still out indefinitely.”

“The violation was related to a social-media post that since has been deleted,” the spokesman said. They are awaiting further clarity.

UAlbany hosts UMass on Tuesday, then hosts Maryland on Saturday.
