After seven hard-fought games over the weekend we are down the final four teams who will play for the NCAA Championship this coming weekend. No matter what happens we will have a first time National Champion as none of the four schools in the NCAA Semifinals have previously appeared in a women’s lacrosse championship game, much less won a title. We’ll take a look at each of the Regional Championship games and you might notice a theme as the four regional hosts all claimed victories on Sunday. ....

Any discussion of great games over the last week has to start with a matchup between the two teams atop the national rankings. Lindenwood showed why it might still be the team to beat in the Midwest Region, taking down conference rival and top ranked UIndy 12-10. Additionally, Roberts Wesleyan came up with a program-changing victory, beating then No. 8 Grand Valley State 12-9. In conference action there three champions were crowned over the weekend.
