Saints Earn At-Large Bid, Set to Make First NCAA Appearance Since 1991

The St. Lawrence University women's lacrosse team will continue their record breaking season, as they head to the 2022 NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1991. The Saints earned an at-large bid after posting a 16-2 record following the Liberty League Tournament.

With the Saints' 16th win of the season, the Scarlet and Brown surpassed the record for wins in a season, which was previously 15, set by the 1990 NCAA Runner-Up team, and with this season's at-large bid, St. Lawrence will make its first trip in over three decades.

The Saints are scheduled to face Tufts in a second-round game on Sunday, May 15 in Medford, Massachusetts.

"I'm so excited for the team for this opportunity to continue playing in the postseason, said head coach Chelsea Martin. "Their hard work and dedication throughout the course of the season is paying off."

"I'm looking forward to seeing how the team progresses in the postseason and for our matchup against Tufts!"

St. Lawrence secured the second-seed in the Liberty League Tournament, received a first-round bye, but fell to Ithaca, 18-9 in the semifinals, this past Saturday in Geneva, N.Y.

Tufts will make its seventh appearance in the NCAA Tournament and the Jumbos reached the NCAA Final last spring and traveled to the "Final Four" in 2019.

The winner between Tufts, ranked ninth in last week's IWLCA poll, and No. 13 St. Lawrence will move on to the "Sweet 16" on May 21. There they will face whoever advances out of the second round among Pomona-Pitzer (16-0), Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (13-5) or George Fox (17-0).

More information regarding this weekend's games will be added to saintsathletics.com when made available.
