INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. --- Concordia University Wisconsin has been announced as an opening-round host for the 2026 NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship.

The Falcons (19-1), who won the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) Men's Lacrosse Tournament with an 8-5 victory over Lake Forest College Saturday, will host Ohio Northern University (13-6) at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 6 at Fitting Field in Mequon, Wisconsin.

The winner will travel to Middletown, Connecticut, where they will face Wesleyan (Conn.) University in an NCAA second-round game at 11 a.m. CT Saturday on Wesleyan's Citrin Field.

Concordia Wisconsin is in the field for the second time overall. The Falcons lost to Denison (Ohio), 12-9, in a second-round match in 2019.

Ohio Northern, which upset Baldwin Wallace in the Ohio Athletic Conference tournament final, is in the field for the second consecutive season. The Polar Bears sidelined Aurora, 14-7, in last year's opening round before falling to eventual national semifinalist RIT, 20-3, in the following round.
