The 2014 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championships kick off today with two play-in games: Siena vs. Bryant and Air Force vs. Richmond, in Richmond's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament as a Division I school (they just became D-I this year).
All four teams are automatic qualifiers after winning their respective conference titles, which makes me wonder why bother having AQs if you're going to make them appear in a play-in game. At least in basketball, they're pretending that the play-in games are the "first round." But that's another article for another day.
Below is your full schedule of this weekend's match-ups. The lovable and eighth-seeded Virginia Cavaliers will be taking on Johns Hopkins on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. on ESPN 2. All of the first round games will also be available for streaming on WatchESPN.com.
