We’re through one round of the NCAA Tourney and already some of Lacrosse’s giants have fallen. On one side of the bracket the Maryland Terrapins have emerged as top-dog, defeating Hofsta and kicking back in their recliners to watch Goliaths Princeton and Syracuse go down to Notre Dame and Army respectively. They’ll face the gritty ND squad for a chance to play the winner between Army and Cornell in the Final Four.

Meeting them at Princeton Field this weekend will be North Carolina and Duke (hey ESPN, how about a little “rivalry” hype-up on SportsCenter before this weekend’s match ups…?). They’ll play for the right to face the winner between #1 ranked Virginia and #8 Stony Brook, a.k.a. the chance to play #1 ranked Virginia (sorry Stony Brook, no chance).

SportsBore’s Championship Pick: Maryland Terrapins

The #3 ranked Maryland squad has the typical Terrapin defense the school has come to be known for. They feature two All-American long poles wearing “Schmidt” on their name-plate (of no relation, other than brothers from other mothers), one of which has an All-American moustache. They also proved to have an offense ta’ boot, tallying 35 goals in their final two regular season games. Fear the Turtle.
