I did not know my mighty Mercer Bears were having such a good season. Don't worry I still want SU to win it all though

Bracketology: Top of Women's Seed Line Altered by ACC Tournament

Syracuse is no longer projected to be the NCAA tournament's top seed.

www.usalaxmagazine.com

Boston College and Northwestern are arguably the hottest teams in women’s lacrosse right now. The Eagles capped a 10-game winning streak with an ACC tournament crown. With a 6-3 record against the RPI top 20, including wins over Syracuse and North Carolina, the Eagles check in at No. 3 this week.

Since UNC defeated Syracuse in the ACC semifinals, that paved the way for Northwestern to be the top seed. A No. 1 RPI and an 8-1 record against the RPI top 20 is the best record in the game. The Orange, who have lost two of three, slide into the No. 2 slot still boasting a 7-2 record against the RPI top 20, including a win over Northwestern.

Syracuse finally fell out of the No. 1 spot and needs a Northwestern loss to even think about reclaiming it
