Virtual NCAA Tournament Women's Bracket First Round Results

April 13, 2020
Kenny DeJohn

The first round of the women’s Virtual NCAA Tournament is in the books, and you helped us determine the winners.

Over 21,000 votes on @uslacrossemag Twitter polls helped us get to the second round of this virtual tournament, and we need your help again to determine quarterfinal participants. Second-round voting begins tomorrow.

A quick reminder of the rules:

  • The fan choice will count for 50 percent of the result

  • US Lacrosse Magazine experts will account for the other 50 percent of the result

  • Winners and next-round matchups will be revealed once each round finishes

We might not have a real Championship Weekend in 2020, but that won’t stop us from crowning a virtual NCAA champion.
