ROSEMONT, Ill. - The inaugural Big Ten men's and women's lacrosse seasons feature a robust slate of television coverage, with more than 40 games featuring Johns Hopkins, Maryland, Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers set to air nationally on BTN or an ESPN network. In addition, approximately 30 games will air on BTN Plus.
BTN will broadcast 25 games with the first taking place on Wednesday, March 18, when Maryland's top-ranked women's team hosts Pennsylvania. The first Big Ten men's lacrosse game on BTN will feature the Terrapins entertaining Michigan on Sunday, March 29.
BTN will also provide live coverage of the 2015 Big Ten Men's and Women's Lacrosse Tournaments. The network will air the semifinals and final of the men's tournament, and carry the semifinals of the women's event. The men's tournament will be held from April 30 to May 2 at Maryland, while the women's event will be hosted by Rutgers from April 30 to May 3.
BTN's lacrosse coverage will also include a 60-minute BTN Lacrosse Preview Show at 4 p.m. ET on March 24, and a special BTN Originals mini-series, in which the cameras go behind-the-scenes with the Penn State and Maryland men's teams leading up to the highly anticipated April 4 contest. More details will be announced at a later date.
Seventeen men's and women's games are scheduled to air on ESPNU or ESPN3, including the championship game of the Big Ten Women's Lacrosse Tournament. Maryland's men's team, ranked No. 7 in this week's Inside Lacrosse Men's Media Top 20 poll, will travel to No. 14 Yale this Saturday in a game that will air on ESPN3. ESPNU will also serve as the broadcast home for the NCAA Men's and Women's Championships.

Maryland has claimed 11 national titles, while Rutgers has also won a national championship. The Scarlet Knights launched men's lacrosse in 1887, followed by programs starting in 1913 for Penn State, 1924 for Maryland, 1953 for Ohio State and 2012 for Michigan.
Big Ten women's lacrosse features teams that have won 24 national championships and 20 of the 33 NCAA championships, including nine of the last 10.
