SAN FRANCISCO - The bracket for the 2023 Pac-12 Women's Lacrosse Tournament is set, with USC securing the No. 1 seed after taking the regular season crown.
 

California is hosting the event, which is set to take place at California Memorial Stadium from May 3-6, and is open to the public. All five matches of the 2023 Pac-12 Women's Lacrosse Tournament will be broadcast on Pac-12 Network and the Pac-12 Now app, with Troy Clardy and Kara Lentz on the call all tournament long. A full schedule can be found below and at Pac-12.com.
 

The No. 20 Trojans (14-3, 9-1 Pac-12) finished atop the Pac-12 standings for the title, their second outright Pac-12 crown and first since 2019. USC boasts one of the best defenses in the country this season, allowing just 8.31 goals per game which is the fifth-fewest in Division I. The Trojans went undefeated (8-0) at home this year, the fourth time in program history they’ve accomplished that feat.

 

STANFORD (10-7, 8-2 Pac-12) gets its third-straight first-round bye after earning the No. 2 seed. Despite having one of the toughest schedules in the country, the Cardinal posted its ninth-straight double-digit win season* and is eyeing its 12th NCAA Tournament berth.

 

COLORADO (9-7) will be the No. 3 seed after going 7-3 in league action, its most Pac-12 wins since 2019. The Buffs earned their 100th win in program history earlier this year, which came in an upset of then-No. 21 Stanford. Colorado is led by Charlie Rudy, who paces the Conference of Champions in goals with 61.

 

ARIZONA STATE (5-12, 3-7 Pac-12) will be the No. 4 seed, looking to make back-to-back appearances in the Pac-12 championship game after reaching the tournament final a season ago.

 

Host CALIFORNIA (5-12, 2-8 Pac-12) and OREGON (5-11, 1-9 Pac-12) will serve as the fifth and sixth seeds, respectively. The Golden Bears will have their best seed at the Pac-12 Tournament since 2019, while the Ducks are led by Morgan McCarthy and Gabby Cleveland, who have each scored 30 or more goals.

 

The tournament champion will receive the Pac-12's automatic bid to the 29-team NCAA Tournament. The Pac-12 has sent two or more teams to the NCAA Tournament in three of the last four opportunities.
