Northwestern women’s lacrosse received an at-large bid to the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship and will play Albany in the first round on May 12. The NCAA released the full bracket Sunday night:
Northwestern is in No. 8 seed Stony Brook’s quarter and in No. 1 Maryland’s side of the bracket. Maryland just defeated Northwestern 14-6 in the Big Ten Championship Game on Sunday afternoon.
Northwestern went 10-9 in the regular season. Despite looking like a top-ten team at times during the season, especially in wins over Notre Dame, Penn State and Duke, Northwestern has struggled at times and had bad luck in close games.
