After an exciting weekend in college lacrosse during first-round play, ESPN's exclusive coverage of the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship continues with the quarterfinals on Saturday, May 21 (ESPNU), and Sunday, May 22 (ESPN2/ESPNU).

With a win over Quinnipiac in the first round, No. 1 SEED Maryland advanced to face No. 8 SEED Syracuse on Saturday, May 21, at noon ET. Following that matchup, No. 5 SEED Brown will take on Navy. Both games will be played at Brown Stadium in Providence, R.I.

Sunday's lineup from Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, features No. 3 SEED Notre Dame facing North Carolina, which defeated BIG EAST Champion Marquette in the first round. A showdown between two Maryland schools -No. 7 SEED Loyola and Towson- will follow at 2:30 p.m.

The winning teams will advance to the semifinals and national title game, which will air on ESPN2 over Memorial Day weekend. A full schedule is below.

Mike Corey and Matt Ward will be on the call from Providence, R.I, and the trio of Eamon McAnaney, Quint Kessenich and Paul Carcaterra will be on site for Sunday's games in Columbus, Ohio.

Host Anish Shroff will provide in-studio coverage alongside Ryan Boyle, former Princeton standout and two-time Ivy League Player of the Year, during all four quarterfinal games.

In addition to the men's coverage, ESPN3 will carry two quarterfinal games of the NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship. The winners will advance to play in the semifinals on Friday, May 27 (ESPN3), with the national title game Sunday, May 29, at noon on ESPNU.
