2014 Atlantic Coast Conference men's lacrosse season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2014 ACC men's and women's lacrosse conferences included six teams, up from four in 2013. Notre Dame and Syracuse joined the ACC in July 2013.[1] This was the only year that the ACC men's lacrosse conference included these six teams as Maryland left the ACC for the Big Ten at the end of the 2014 season.[2] The finalists from the 2013 NCAA championship game are in the ACC conference in 2014, Duke and Syracuse. Additionally, all six teams were included in the Top 10 of the Lacrosse Magazine preseason ranking.[3] The 2014 ACC men's lacrosse conference included teams that at the time had won 23 national championships and had 45 appearances in the title game.[4]

On May 4, 2014 the NCAA announced the 18 teams that played in the Division I men's lacrosse tournament. As part of this selection, the bottom four teams played two play-in games.[5][6] The ACC is one of 10 conferences that have automatic qualifiers, meaning the winner of the ACC tournament appeared in the tournament, leaving five ACC teams competing for eight at-large bids.[6] Four of the six teams in the ACC competed in the conference tournament on April 25, 2014. PPL Park (now Subaru Park) in Philadelphia, Pa., hosted the ACC tournament in both 2014 and 2015.[4]
