Northwestern has been the team to beat all season in NCAA women’s lacrosse. Now, it’s time to see if the Wildcats can win back-to-back national championships.
The 2024 NCAA tournament will get underway May 10, with the Wildcats (15-2) as the top overall seed. The 2023 champs aren’t a lock to repeat, though, as evidenced by the pair of losses on their resume and two close calls in the Big Ten Tournament heading into NCAAs.
Northwestern’s top challenger figures to be Boston College (16-3), which will look to break an agonizing recent run in NCAAs. The Eagles lost in the final last spring, the fifth time in the past six NCAA tournaments they have finished as the runner-up.
B.C. enters the tournament riding high after winning the ACC Tournament and will be hoping to avenge a regular-season home loss to Northwestern when it really matters.
The balance of power in women’s lacrosse rests squarely on the ACC-Big Ten axis, with Syracuse, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Virginia also expected to contend for the title.
Here’s how to watch all the action on the way to the national championship.
