Syracuse men’s lacrosse unseeded, will face Loyola in first round of NCAA Tournament

The Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team returns to the NCAA Tournament yet again, as they discovered on Sunday evening when the bracket and seedings were announced.

SU enters the NCAA Tournament unseeded against the eighth-seeded Loyola Greyhounds.
