The UNC men’s lacrosse team received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and has a first-round matchup with Marquette this weekend.
The tournament field was announced late Sunday.
UNC won a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season title before losing in the semifinals of the conference tournament. The Tar Heels’ opponent, Marquette, won the Big East Conference Tournament for an automatic bid to the NCAA bracket.
UNC enters the tournament unseeded, while the Golden Eagles are the No. 6 seed after they knocked off defending national champ Denver on Saturday in the Big East Tournament final. Marquette is in just its fourth year as a varsity program.
This marks the 31st time the men’s lacrosse team has made the tournament field.
Saturday’s game between UNC and Marquette will be televised nationally on ESPNU beginning at 2:30.
