Maryland women’s lacrosse (14-5) secured the No. 6 seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament Sunday night, marking the program’s 35th consecutive tournament appearance. The Terps will host Fairfield (11-7) in the opening round on Friday at noon.
Fairfield — the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champions — is no stranger to the tournament, earning its eighth straight berth. The Stags are led by head coach Laura Field and have yet to miss the tournament in her eight-year tenure.
Fairfield’s offense has been fueled by senior Grace Slater and sophomore Kelly Haggerty, who have each contributed 45 goals on the season.
