2013 Women's Lacrosse Semifinals & Championship Streaming & TV Schedule

ESPN really likes putting out press releases regarding the NCAA Lacrosse Championships. For this week they have split up the men's and women's releases into 2, and as expected Ladies come first. The NCAA Women's Lacrosse Championship semifinals take place on Friday live on ESPN3 before they shift to the championship game Sunday on ESPNU. Maryland, Northwestern, North Carolina, and Syracuse are your final four standing. Unlike the men's championship, which is streamed on Dial Global Sports, the women's championship is an ESPN exclusive. Here's the press release regarding the final 2013 Women's Lacrosse matches of the season.
