After winning their respective semifinal games in the 2022 Big Ten Men’s Lacrosse Tournament, the top two seeds in the conference will square off with a league championship on the line.
Top-seeded and undefeated Maryland defeated No. 4-seed Johns Hopkins, and No. 2-seed Rutgers beat No. 3-seed Ohio State on Thursday night to advance. The two teams have been the premier teams in the Big Ten all season long and will have an opportunity to prove it in Saturday’s championship game.
The short turnaround from Thursday to Saturday is something that both teams’ coaches were preparing for during their bye weeks, which they earned as the tournament’s top two seeds.
