It will be Tigers vs. Tigers as the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) champion No. 15/14 Towson University men's lacrosse team is headed back to the NCAA Tournament, drawing 3-seed and No. 2 Princeton for the NCAA First Round.
The game is set for Saturday, May 10 at 2:30 p.m. at the Class of 1952 Stadium in Princeton, N.J.
No. 15/14 Towson earned the automatic qualifier as the CAA Tournament victor and is on a 10-game winning streak, its longest in program DI history. The Tigers stand at 11-5 overall after going 7-0 in CAA play.
Princeton earned an at-large into the tournament, being the runner-up in the Ivy League Tournament. The Princeton Tigers are 12-3 overall and 5-1 in Ivy League play, competing in their fourth straight NCAA Tournament.
This will be the first matchup since 2001 when Towson and Princeton met in the NCAA semifinal round in Piscataway, New Jersey. Towson narrowly lost 12-11 as Princeton would go on to win the 2001 national title. All-time, these two programs have only met in the NCAA Tournament, with then-Towson State defeating Princeton 14-13 in the 1991 quarterfinal and Princeton taking a 22-6 victory in the 1996 quarterfinal.
The team gathered in the Minnegan Room in the Field House for the ESPNU selection show on Sunday night. This comes the day after Towson won the 2025 CAA title with a 13-10 victory over Drexel.
