It's pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions, please contact me.

Monday's final will pit the winner of #1 Maryland v. #5 Denver against the winner of #3 Ohio State v. unseeded Towson. Both Maryland and Denver are established powers: Denver was the 2015 champion, while Maryland owns two titles and has finished second a record 11 times, including 2015 and 2016. In contrast, Ohio State and Towson are each making their first trip to the Final Four.

If the final ends up being Denver against Ohio State, it will be the first time in history that both finalists are from west of the Appalachians.

Saturday's semifinals and Monday's final are all on ESPN2. You can see the full bracket here:

Semifinal one is turning out to be a great game: late in the third quarter, the giant-killing Tyson Tigers are up 8-7 over #3 Ohio State, but the Buckeyes are on a roll just now.

Semifinal #2 is at 2:30 pm.

The semifinals were each one-goal games, with Ohio State coming back from 5 goals down to turn back Towson 11-10, and Maryland holding on to edge Denver 9-8.

So for Monday's party, it's first-time finalist #3 Ohio State against thirteen-time finalist and #1 seed Maryland.
The party starts at 11:30 AM; face-off is at 12 noon.
