The Syracuse Orange women’s lacrosse team is NCAA Tournament-bound once again.
Despite a tough regular season that saw the Orange go just 9-9 overall (and just 1-6 in the ACC), SU heard their name called on Selection Sunday for an at-large bid. Syracuse will face fellow unseeded team the Princeton Tigers in the first round from Newton, Mass.
The Orange were 19th in the RPI, and claimed signature wins over Florida, Loyola and this same Tigers team. Syracuse beat Princeton 17-16 on the road back on March 29. Princeton (12-5 overall) tied for the regular season lead in the Ivy at 6-1, then won the conference tournament over Penn.
