The NCAA men's lacrosse tournaments conclude this weekend in Philadelphia and, while just one team from the region -- Tufts in Division 3 -- is competing for a championship, there are several players from the region to watch across all the divisions.
The Division 1 semifinals are Saturday, with Duke playing Penn State (noon) and Virginia facing Notre Dame (2:30 p.m.). The championship game will be played on Monday (1 p.m.).
Mercyhurst will play Lenoir-Rhyne for the D-2 championship on Sunday (1 p.m.), with Tufts facing Salisbury for the D-3 crown afterward (4 p.m.).
Here are eight difference-makers from the region in action this weekend.
