Syracuse-Northwestern. It’s usually a regular-season non-conference game that both teams and lacrosse fans have circled in red Sharpie on their calendars.
Of course, that wasn’t the case this year the Big Ten only played conference opponents.
The two teams last locked horns on Feb. 22, 2020, a 16-11 Syracuse win in Evanston. It was a rematch of a 2019 quarterfinal game, which Northwestern took, 18-14.
“We’ve had some great battles these last two years, and I expect this to be the same,” said Northwestern head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller, who has the Wildcats vying for their eighth national title and first since 2012 (when they beat Syracuse in the national championship game).

Often called ‘Ally’s little sister’ growing up, Sammy Mueller carved her own path before playing out her final season where her sister’s college career began.
March 12, 2020 should have been a memorable and exciting day. It was supposed to be another hard-fought ACC game against Syracuse and one of the final few games for me and my fellow seniors to put on a Virginia jersey at Klockner Stadium. Yet, it turned out to be memorable for all the wrong reasons when the ACC canceled that game and later the entire season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Suddenly, my senior season, and last spring semester as a student-athlete, was over in the blink of an eye.
