In a bizarre confluence of events, the Maryland Terrapins men's and women's lacrosse teams will both meet their Syracuse Orange counterparts at the same time in NCAA tournament quarterfinal action.
The Maryland men come into their early Saturday afternoon meeting with #2 seeded defending champion Syracuse as an upset winner, having defeated the previously undefeated Notre Dame squad a week earlier. The two sides have not met each other since postseason play in 1997.
The Maryland women figure to have more of an advantage as a #2 seed themselves, hosting the #7 Syracuse women's squad. The female Terrapins come into their quarterfinal game with a perfect 20-0 record.
Start times for both games are at 12 p.m. The men's game from Hempstead, N.Y. will air on ESPN2 & ESPNU, the women's game at College Park will be audiocast on WMUCSports.com.
