Highlighting a weekend filled with local postseason action, the Maryland men's and women's lacrosse teams both advanced through first round games in their respective NCAA championship tournaments.
The unseeded Maryland men's squad was the only one to score an upset on the men's side, going out to an early lead en route to a 7-3 win over previously undefeated Notre Dame. In other local men's games of interest, #1 seed Virginia decimated Villanova by an 18-6 count while Navy gave up the first ten goals in a 14-5 loss at Duke.
On the women's side, the #2 seed Maryland Terrapins had no difficulty at all in maintaining their own undefeated record, scoring the first 15 goals of the game in their 20-4 rout of Colgate. However, Georgetown fell at Princeton 15-9 leaving the Terps alone among local women's tournament quarterfinalists.
The Maryland men's and women's teams will both play their Syracuse Orange counterparts next Saturday.
