Penn State women’s lacrosse will face James Madison on Friday, May 10, on Maryland’s campus. The Nittany Lions received an at-large bid after finishing the season 11-7.

Penn State fell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2023 to Stony Brook but will have another chance to make a run this year. In the regular season, the Nittany Lions placed second in the Big Ten going 4-2, including wins against No. 1 Northwestern, No. 11 Maryland, and No. 12 Johns Hopkins.

Penn State boasts five All-Big Ten selections. Kristin O’Neill and Ellie Hollin led the charge being named to the first team. Kayla Abernathy, Sammy Dupack, and Gretchen Gilmore also received recognition with All-Big Ten Second Team selections.

James Madison went 13-5 with a 5-1 record in the American Athletic Conference. It knocked off then-No. 3 North Carolina to start the season and finished just short of winning a conference title, falling to top-seeded Florida.
