Virginia received the No. 2 seed when the NCAA men’s lacrosse tournament field was unveiled Sunday night, headlining a handful of programs from the D.C. area that secured postseason berths.
Also into the field of 17 for the men’s tournament are fourth-seeded Maryland, the defending national champion, and No. 7 seed Georgetown, the Big East tournament champion. The Terrapins claimed an at-large berth one day after losing to Michigan in the Big Ten tournament championship game.
The No. 1 seed on the men’s side went to Duke, the ACC champion, which defeated the Cavaliers twice in the regular season.
