Syracuse women’s lacrosse (14-5, 8-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) has stayed at No. 3 in the Week 13 Inside Lacrosse Poll. The Orange didn’t play a game this past week but remained in the position while other teams outside the ACC participated in their respective conference tournaments.

In the previous week, SU rose from No. 4 to No. 3 following two dominant wins over Louisville and Virginia and a loss in the ACC Championship to Boston College.

With the regular season and conference tournament behind them, the Orange now enter the NCAA Tournament. As announced on ESPN’s selection show Sunday night, Syracuse earned the No. 3 seed in the tournament, clinching a first-round bye.

In the second round, SU will host the winner of Stony Brook against Niagara. Other teams in Syracuse’s bracket include Yale, Johns Hopkins and Fairfield. If the Orange were to advance to the Final Four, they would likely face off with Boston College, which they lost to in the regular-season finale on April 18 and in the ACC Championship game on April 28.
