ESPN's Lacrosse Schedule Heavy On Hopkins, Maryland, Syracuse

ESPN announced its 2011 college lacrosse TV and online broadcast schedule today. It includes 35 regular season match-ups (33 men's, 2 women's) and all 15 post-season games in the Men's Tournament.

Johns Hopkins finished 7-7 last year but you'd never know it from ESPN's schedule, which features the Blue Jays twelve times (!). Meanwhile, defending National Champ Duke gets five spots and runner-up Notre Dame is broadcast four times.

Maryland is listed eight times, Syracuse shows up on the schedule six times while Virginia and North Carolina gets five nods apiece.

The first round NCAA Tournament games will be broadcast across ESPNU and ESPN3.com, second-round games will appear on ESPNU, ESPN2 and ESPN3.com, the Final Four will be on ESPN2/ESPN3.com and the National Championship game will be broadcast on ESPN at 3:30pm EST on Monday, May 30th.
