The first rounds of the CIAC boys lacrosse tournaments will be played later today at the home of the higher seeds.

In Class L, top-seeded Fairfield Prep begins its tourney run against Newtown, while Cheshire (Class M) and St. Joseph's (Class S) are the state's other No. 1 seeds.
Here's a breakdown of each CIAC tournament.
