Delaware Stadium will once again be the scene of NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament games on May 17.
A quarterfinal double-header will bring four of the nation’s top teams and their devoted fans to Newark for a pair of nationally televised duels.
At stake will be a coveted spot in the Final Four on Memorial Day weekend at the University of Virginia’s Scott Stadium and a shot at a national championship.
Princeton, seeded first in the tournament, plays No. 8 Penn State in the first game Sunday at noon.
Georgetown and Duke, who are not among the eight seeds in the 18-team bracket, follow at 2:30 p.m.
In round-of-16 games May 9-10, Penn State beat Army 10-6, Duke rallied to upset No. 4 host Richmond 14-12, Princeton dominated Marist 17-8 and Georgetown came back to prevail 14-10 at No. 5 Virginia.

Delaware Stadium was also the scene of 2002 first-round games and 2014 and 2017 quarterfinals.

Each has many players from southeastern Pennsylvania, including Duke freshman goalie Cam Taylor, who played at Salesianum School in Wilmington. He has not seen game action this season.
Also, Georgetown coach Kevin Warne was an assistant on Delaware coach Bob Shillinglaw’s staff from 2001-04.
Princeton has won six NCAA men’s lacrosse championships, all from 1992 through 2001.
Duke has won three, the last in 2014.
Penn State and Georgetown have never reached the title game.
