Stanford Women's Lacrosse vs Northwestern NCAA Lacrosse Tournament

The Stanford women’s lacrosse team’s historic season came to a close Saturday afternoon as it fell to Northwestern, 15-8, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Stanford (14-6) was unable to overcome a 7-1 scoring run and a 12-2 draw control advantage by Northwestern (18-2) in the second half.
Julia Burns led Stanford with three goals, while five Cardinal added a goal apiece. Rachel Ozer tied Burns with a team-best three points on a goal and two assists.
“I was really proud of the team’s effort throughout the entire game,” head coach Amy Bokker said. “Northwestern is a great opponent and reigning national champions so we knew we were going to have our work cut out for us.”
After a first half that saw Stanford and Northwestern trade the first six goals of the game, Northwestern took control in the second, fueled by its draw control advantage. The Wildcats maintained a majority of the possession in the second and Stanford was forced to spread its defense to challenge for control.
The Wildcats outscored the Cardinal, 9-4, and held a 15-7 shot advantage in the second half. Northwestern finished the game with 29 shots to Stanford’s 15.
Despite its time of possession being limited, Stanford continued to battle and pulled within 13-8 with 6:19 to play after Julia Burns scored her second and third goals of the game. However, Northwestern continued to control a majority of the possession and added two more goals to close the game.
After a somewhat slow start to the game by both teams, Stanford and Northwestern traded a series of goals in a span of 12:36 and found themselves tied 3-3.

NCAA Lacrosse: “2013 Women’s Lacrosse Championships” Announces Brackets With Maryland Ranked #1 Followed By Northwestern, North Carolina And Syracuse; Stanford Vs Notre Dame On May 12, Denver Vs Jacksonville On May 10

2013 NCAA Women's Lacrosse Championships

With a perfect 19-0 record, Maryland earned the No. 1 seed in the largest NCAA Division I women’s lacrosse tournament in history. The field expanded from 16 teams last year to 26 teams in 2013, in response the increased number of conferences sponsoring the sport. While the Terps are making their 29th postseason appearance, six other teams are in the big dance for the first time. Stony Brook, Denver, Jacksonville, High Point, Canisius and UConn will all play their first NCAA tournament games on May 11.
“I’m so glad we’re at 26, and I’m so glad we’re on the inside. It’s awesome and I’m so excited for the team,” Pioneers coach Liza Kelly said.
Kelly, who is also a longtime member of the NCAA Division I women’s lacrosse committee, said the IWLCA had been pressing for tournament expansion since she was an assistant at Towson in the late 1990s.
“We had enough quality teams that the tournament needed to expand. With the great expansion we’ve seen, especially in the Atlantic Sun and in the Big South, and having 100 teams overall, having a 16-team bracket just didn’t make sense. Under the old format, with that many teams, half the games would have been play-in games,” she said.
The Pioneers and the Dolphins will meet in a first-round matchup between first-time NCAA tournament participants in Gainesville, Fla. The winner of the game will advance to play No. 5 seed Florida in the second round.
