The Boston College women’s lacrosse team will play Canisius College in the first round of the 2017 NCAA Tournament. The Eagles were 13-6 this season, and boasted a 7-1 record at BC. The Golden Griffins won the 2017 MAAC Championship and recorded a 15-4 overall record. The Eagles had a great season this year, and this a slightly tougher seed than many were expecting them to be given. (Navy, for example, earned an easier group than BC thanks to pulling off a surprise Patriot League Championship win. The Eagles beat Navy 17-9 this season.)
The Golden Griffins struggled against ACC teams this season, losing to the only 2 ACC teams they played.
