MAAC
Fairfield’s only loss this season came against Siena, the team it will now meet in the MAAC championship game on Sunday afternoon. Fairfield beat Niagara 15-10 this afternoon, while Siena bested Monmouth 20-11. Siena’s two losses this season came against Niagara in the same weekend.
Pac-12
Stanford and Colorado battled it out in an overtime thriller on March 20, and they'll meet again in the Pac-12 title game this weekend.
Colorado capped a busy day in women's lacrosse with a second-half comeback to down USC 9-8 in the second Pac-12 semifinal. Down 7-4 with 23 minutes remaining, Colorado scored five unanswered goals to take control, and held off a late USC rally in the final seconds.
Ali Baiocco and Mikaela Watson have led the Stanford offense throughout the 2021 season, and they did so once again in the first Pac-12 semifinal against Arizona State. Baiocco and Watson each scored four goals in an 18-11 victory over the Sun Devils.
Patriot League
Lehigh’s run continues.
Just a few days after beating a Navy team that just kept hanging around, Lehigh topped another scrappy team, Army, 10-8. Sondra Dickey scored three goals, and Samantha Sagi made seven saves.
Tied at 8 with under 11 minutes remaining, Gabby Schneider fed Katia Carnevale to put Lehigh ahead by one goal. About four minutes later, Hannah Cermack fed Emma Eberhardt for a 10-8 Mountain Hawk lead.
Lehigh will play Loyola for the Patriot League championship. The Greyhounds thumped Colgate 17-6.
SoCon
Furman got six goals and one assist from Kyra LaMotte and two goals and five assists from Hannah Demis in a 21-4 blowout win over Wofford. The game to determine the Paladins’ opponent for the championship game was far more intriguing.
Third-seeded Mercer pulled off the upset win over Coastal Carolina — a team that stunned then-No. 9 Jacksonville in April — 13-11 in Macon, Ga. Mercer never trailed, even in a close contest, as Hailey Rhatigan starred with six goals and four assists.
