SELINSGROVE, PA - The Susquehanna University Women's and Men's Lacrosse teams will travel Tuesday to their respective opening-round games of the Landmark Tournament. Women's lacrosse earned the fifth seed in their championship race, where they'll go to fourth-seeded Moravian in a 6 p.m. contest. The men grabbed the sixth seed in a competitive field, heading to Drew for a 7 p.m. contest. 

Head coaches Randall Swope for the women and Stewart Moan for the men have each led spectacular programs over the years that have both qualified for the tournament the last three seasons.  Last season the women had the number-three seed and defeated Moravian at home in the opening round, then had their season ended in the semifinals at Catholic. The men celebrated their highest season wins total in program history last spring with the number-two seed and a first-round bye for the tournament, but feel to three-seeded Scranton.
