INDIANAPOLIS – The National Collegiate Athletic Association has announced the sites for third- and quarterfinal-round play, and Washington and Lee was selected to host for a second consecutive weekend.
The Generals will be hosting the second weekend of NCAA Championship play for the first time in program history this coming weekend, in what will be their fifth all-time appearance in the Round of 16. W&L will welcome No. 2 Emory, No. 5 Pomona Pitzer and No. 19 Johns Hopkins to campus to complete the four-team pod.
Each of the four teams in Lexington this coming weekend all advanced through the first weekend of NCAA Tournament play in decisive fashion. None of the four teams allowed a goal in their two games, while also scoring multiple goals in each contest. The Eagles and Blue Jays will do battle first on Watt Field on Saturday at 11:00 a.m., followed by the Generals and Sagehens at 1:30 p.m. The two advancing teams from Saturday's games will then meet on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. with a trip to the national semifinals in Salem, Va., on the line.
Live streams and live stats for all three games will be provided by Washington and Lee University this weekend. Tickets will be sold at the gate, and links will become available later in the week to purchase tickets in advance.
