NCAA Bracket

GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) - The Atlantic Coast Conference will boast half of the teams competing in the quarterfinals of the 2023 NCAA Women's Lacrosse Championship after Boston College, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Syracuse won second-round games Sunday. The ACC is the only conference with multiple teams in the quarterfinals.

This marks the fourth consecutive tournament where at least three ACC teams have advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.

The quarterfinals will be held on Thursday on campus sites, with ESPNU carrying all four contests. No. 2 seed Syracuse starts the day with a noon home game against No. 7 seed James Madison. No. 3 seed Boston College plays host to Notre Dame at 2:30 p.m. No. 4 seed North Carolina entertains No. 5 seed Denver at 5 p.m. The winners advance to the NCAA's Championship Weekend, which will be held May 26 and 28 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.

Syracuse downed Johns Hopkins, 25-8, tying the school record for most goals in a game. Meaghan Tyrrell and Emma Tyrrell combined for 17 points in the victory. Emma Tyrrell scored a career-high seven goals, which tie for the most goals by an Orange player in an NCAA Tournament game.
