Women’s Tournament The Syracuse women’s lacrosse team is chasing their NCAA Championship dreams as they face off with Northwestern University in the 2022 NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Tournament in Evanston, Illinois, on Thursday. The No. 5-seeded Orange women broke open a close game in the third quarter and beat Princeton, 13-9, in their second-round game on Sunday. With the game tied at 7-7 in the third quarter, the Orange’s unleashed four goals in less than five minutes off Emily Hawryschuk, Meaghan Tyrrell, Olivia Adamson and Natalie Smith. Now Syracuse will face the No. 4-seeded Northwestern Wildcats, who are coming off a 15-12 win over Michigan. Northwestern got out to a 5-0 lead in the first quarter, from which Michigan simply couldn’t recover. This will be Northwestern’s fourth straight appearance in an NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Tournament Quarterfinal.
