The NCAA announced the 2009 Women's Lacrosse Tournament bracket, and Penn received the No. 4 seed. The Quakers (13-2, 7-0 Ivy) will face unseeded Fairfield (17-2) Sunday at Franklin Field in the first round.
The Quakers were predicted to get the No. 3, No. 4 or No. 5 seed. However, the team that did get the No. 3, North Carolina, actually lost to the Quakers 11-2 in March. Yet because Penn only had the 13th toughest schedule, UNC's No. 1 SOS was enough to overcome the loss.
Also, Northwestern earned the No. 1 seed, so if the seeds were to hold, Penn would play the Wildcats in the Final Four. Northwestern has won the last four NCAA championships, including last year over Penn.
