Loyola lacrosse awarded number two seed in US Lacrosse Southern Section North playoffs
Loyola's Mission League champion lacrosse squad earned the number two seed in the US Lacrosse Southern Section North Division playoffs that get underway today.  The Mission League champion Cubs (15-4, 9-1) were awarded the second seed based on their trouncing of then number one-ranked Harvard Weslake, 13-6, last week.

Loyola, the defending Southern Section champion, hosts number 15 seeded Sierra Canyon at Smith Field today at 5:00 p.m. in a first round game in the field of 16.   Palos Verdes, which downed the Cubs in a non-league match earlier in the season, is the number one seed.  To have a chance to avenge the loss to the Sea Kings, Loyola might have to get by number three seed Harvard-Westlake in the semifinals once again.  It would be the third meeting of the season between the Cubs and Wolverines if that were to occur.
