Is it too late to start networking?

I'm a junior in university and I've yet to get a meaningful summer internship so I'm really trying my best. I thought starting in September was early enough, but with all of the deadlines coming soon I'm wondering if it's too late to network (for this upcoming summer specifically). If the applications close is it still possible/how much harder to make advantage of referrals?
