Washington, D.C. area college lacrosse teams again are well represented this 2009 in their respective men's and women's opening rounds of the NCAA playoffs.
On the men's side, local teams landed primarily as unseeded entries, facing the prospect of needing upset road wins to reach next weekend's action. Considered lucky in some circles to even make the playoffs, 9-6 Maryland must play at undefeated #7 seed Notre Dame (Sun. 12 p.m., ESPNU) while Navy has to overcome #3 seed Duke (Sat. 7:30 p.m., ESPNU, WNAV/1430).
The undefeated Maryland Terrapins' women's side garnered much better positioning in its bracket, holding a #2 national seed for its home battle against Colgate (Sun. 12 p.m., WMUCSports.com). Meanwhile, Georgetown will battle 1:30 p.m Sunday at #8 seed Princeton.
