WEST POINT, N.Y. - With exactly one month to go until the Smartlink Day of Rivals on April 17, Inside Lacrosse has announced that more than 12,000 tickets have been sold for the showcase event. The college lacrosse double-header pits the two most historic rivalries in all of lacrosse - Army/Navy and Maryland/Johns Hopkins - on the same stage at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

Last year's inaugural Day of Rivals drew 20,732 fans to a rain-soaked M&T Bank Stadium on Easter weekend. This year the event slides back a week on the calendar, and the games are set to be played in the evening to better accommodate fans. Army and Navy will face-off at 4 p.m. followed by Maryland vs. Johns Hopkins at 6:30 p.m.

In addition to the two college games, MIAA rivals St. Mary's from Annapolis and McDonogh will square off in a high school under card at 1 p.m. One ticket gets you into all three games on the day.
