The NCAA ladies’s lacrosse universe is de facto ramping up in depth at this time. The ocfofinals of the NCAA Division I ladies’s lacrosse event is being performed on the eight seeded websites from final Sunday. This, simply two days after a raft of runaway wins on Friday. Solely two video games within the first spherical had margins of victory of fewer than 5 objectives — a one-goal win by James Madison over Penn State, and one-goal win by Denver over Stanford. I anticipate most of at this time’s Division I video games to be razor’s edge by way of margin.
In Division III, there are 16 second-round video games at campus websites — though there’s one sport which gained’t characteristic the house group. That sport will characteristic Stevens Institute of Know-how in opposition to Babson in a sport being performed at Springfield Faculty.
So, what of Division II? Their choice present is that this night, that means that 16 groups shall be celebrating their berths into the bracket. It’s a far cry from 1998 and 1999, when the very best Division II group was put right into a “Nationwide Championship” bracket with the very best full-scholarship groups within the sport. West Chester was the Division II unbiased at-large group invited in each years, however they by no means gained a sport.
However the Rams, presently undefeated at 16-0, are taking part in within the PSAC championship this afternoon in opposition to Kutztown. It’s seemingly that the Rams can have a top-four seed within the event, even with a defeat.
Have at it; this ought to be some nice lacrosse.
