The 2014 ACC women's and men's lacrosse conferences will include Notre Dame and Syracuse after those teams joined the ACC in July 2013. The 2014 ACC women's lacrosse conference will now include eight teams. This will be the only year that the ACC women's lacrosse conference will include these eight teams as Maryland will leave the ACC for the Big Ten at the end of the 2014 season. Boston College plays in the women's ACC conference, but not the men's conference.
The finalists from the 2013 NCAA championship game, Maryland and UNC, are in the ACC conference in 2014. Additionally, Syracuse was in the final four of the 2013 NCAA championship tournament, and UVA and Duke were in the final eight. Syracuse lost to Maryland by a goal in that tournament, while UNC won the championship with a 13-12 victory against Maryland. UNC's victory marked the first championship for that program, and broke Northwestern's two year streak as NCAA champions. Members of the 2014 ACC conference won two of the last four championships, with Maryland beating Northwestern in 2010. Before that Northwestern won five championships in a row.
