The WDIA National Championship still a couple of weeks away, but this weekend’s Western Women’s Lacrosse League (WWLL) tournament in Los Angeles should serve as an excellent appetizer for the main event May 5-8 in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The nation’s No. 1-ranked team, Santa Clara, is the tournament’s top seed. No. 4 Cal Poly is the two seed, No. 5 UC Santa Barbara is the three seed, No. 3 UC Davis is the four seed, and No. 8 UCLA is seeded fifth.
