In a season full of surprises, a pair of favorites punched their tickets to the NCAA Tournament last weekend, with UNC winning the ACC and Northwestern taking the Big Ten crown. Outside of the Power Five, High Point secured its fourth-straight NCAA Tournament automatic qualifier by winning the Big South.
But donât use a pen if youâre trying Bracketology at home. Thereâs still plenty up in the air. St. Joe s shook things up by downing nationally-ranked Richmond in the A-10 semis last weekend, opening the door for UMass to earn its bid to the tournament and leaving the Spiders to sweat it out, hoping for an at-large bid on Sunday.

No. 1 North Carolina and No. 2 Northwestern have played a cut above the rest of the field this year. The rest of Division I lacrosse is up for grabs, with multiple teams in the sport’s traditional powerhouse conferences, the ACC and Big Ten, jockeying for positioning in the standings.
Last week, Boston College topped a Notre Dame team that took UNC to the brink. The Eagles will close the season at Syracuse in what could be the matchup of the weekend. In the Big Ten, Rutgers upset Maryland, and Johns Hopkins topped Penn State.

Kerry Clayton scored five goals and added two assists, as Arizona State fell just short of its first-ever win over Stanford in a 22-21 overtime loss Friday.
Pac-12 women’s lacrosse is no longer simply the eminent domain of Stanford and USC. This year especially, the conference is wide open.
A couple of overtime thrillers reinforced that fact Friday, as No. 17 Stanford had to rally from a six-goal deficit to defeat Arizona State 22-21 and USC gave up a two-goal lead in the final minute of regulation before putting away last-place Cal 12-11.
