For the seventh consecutive year, Maryland is the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA women’s lacrosse tournament.
The Terps (18-1) are the top seed despite losing, 16-11, to Northwestern in the Big Ten tournament final Sunday afternoon at Johns Hopkins’ Homewood Field. They won national titles as the No. 1 seed in 2014, 2015 and 2017.
Maryland earned a bye to Sunday’s second round, where they will meet the winner of a first-round game between 2018 NCAA champion and Colonial Athletic Association titlist James Madison (16-3) and America East Conference champion Stony Brook (15-4).
