As was the case in 2019 and 2021, Northwestern (17-1, 6-0 B1G) came out victorious over Maryland (14-6, 4-2 B1G) for its third Big Ten Championship.
The No. 1 Wildcats, who took down the Terps 13-6 for the regular season title on April 22, won 14-9 in their rematch with the No. 10 team in the country. With the victory, NU has likely clinched the top overall seed in the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Tournament, which will announce its field tomorrow night.
The top two seeded teams made for a competitive game with Northwestern leading by just one at the half.
