If you’ve never watched it, you may think lacrosse is boring. But the first round of the Division I NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship featured comebacks, upsets, nail-biters, and overtime. Maryland, the defending champions, are out, so it’s anyone’s guess who will emerge from Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field as the new national champs.

Meanwhile, the women are down to their Final Four with four out of five of the top seeds headed to WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina for the final three matchups. The Pioneers will have to get past the top-seeded Wildcats to continue their undefeated season, while top scorers Olivia Adamson of Syracuse and Belle Smith of Boston go head-to-head.
