PREGAME READING
What to Watch For – Syracuse (17-2, 6-1)
1. The Orange defeated two top 10 teams to advance to the finals of the ACC Championship last weekend. Syracuse topped No. 13/11 Notre Dame, 16-11, and No. 4/4 North Carolina, 9-7, before a 13-7 setback against Maryland. Seniors Alyssa Murray and Katie Weber and sophomore Kayla Treanor were named to the All-Tournament Team.
2. Syracuse needs just two more wins to tie the school record for victories in a season. The Orange won 19 games in 2012 when it advanced to the NCAA Tournament championship game.
3. Murray tallied seven goals in the ACC Tournament to take over third place on Syracuse's all-time leader list. She now has 208 career goals, surpassing Halley Quillinan's 207 (2007-10). Murray needs three points to tie Christina Dove (2007-10) for second place on the all-time scoring list.
What to Watch For – Loyola (15-4, 8-0)
1. The Greyhounds made history last weekend capturing its first Patriot League Championship with an 18-7 victory against Boston University. The victory marked the team's 12th consecutive win and secured an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, the team's fourth straight appearance.
2. Senior Marlee Paton was the tournament MVP, recording nine points (7g, 2a), five draw controls and three caused turnovers in the final two games. She leads the team this season with 72 points and is a Tewaaraton Award nominee.
