Boston College earned the No. 2 overall seed and will host. With the spot, the Eagles will have a first-round bye. The Eagles will play either Loyola Maryland or Stony Brook in the second round on Sunday in Chestnut Hill.

Less than 24 hours after a humbling defeat in the Big Ten tournament championship game, the Maryland men’s lacrosse team began looking ahead to more substantial achievements when the NCAA tournament’s field of 18 was unveiled Sunday night.
