Games of the Week
Men
No. 1 Towson (4-0) vs. No. 2 Cornell (3-0)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Outlook: Both teams have first-round opponents in the Crown Lacrosse Event to worry about (the Tigers against Jacksonville and the Big Red against No. 4 Penn State), but a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup is a juicy proposition. Cornell has won both meetings with Towson.
Women
No. 4 Syracuse (6-1) @ No. 2 Maryland (5-0)
Saturday, noon
Outlook: The Terps have dominated this series, winning 22 of 23 games. The Orange’s lone victory came March 10, 2012, when that squad won, 10-9.
