Holding Opponents To Single-Digits

• The Terps were 12-1 when allowing nine goals or less in 2014.The Terps' lone loss last season came to eventual national finalist Notre Dame, 6-5, at the ACC Tournament.

Consecutive 10-Win Seasons

• Maryland's 12-8 win over 8th-ranked Notre Dame on April 19, 2014 extended the Terps' streak of double-digit win seasons to 12, which is the longest active streak in NCAA Division I men's lacrosse.

• There are only four programs with a current streak of at least six-straight 10-win seasons:

• Maryland (12): 2014 (13-4), 2013 (10-4), 2012 (12-6), 2011 (13-5), 2010 (12-4), 2009 (10-7), 2008 (10-6), 2007 (10-6), 2006 (12-5), 2005 (11-6), 2004 (13-3), 2003 (12-4)
  
• Notre Dame (9): 2014 (12-6), 2013 (11-4), 2012 (13-3), 2011 (11-3), 2010 (10-7), 2009 (15-1), 2008 (14-3), 2007 (11-4), 2006 (10-5)
• Duke (7): 2014 (17-3), 2013 (16-5), 2012 (15-5) 2011 (14-6), 2010 (16-4), 2009 (15-4), 2008 (18-2), 2007 ( 17-3)

• Cornell's string of seven-straight 10+ win seasons came to an end in 2012 with a 9-4 final mark. Virginia's streak of eight-consecutive seasons with 10+ wins ended in 2013 with a 7-8 record, while Siena saw its run of six 10-win seasons end in 2013 also.

The 700 Club

• Maryland's 15-6 victory over Penn on April 14, 2009 was the program's 700th victory in 84 seasons of varsity men's lacrosse. The Terps join Johns Hopkins, Syracuse, Navy, Army and Cornell as the only programs with 700 or more Division I wins.

• Two things that make Maryland's accomplishment all the more impressive is that the Terps reached the 700-win plateau in just their 84th season. Only Syracuse reached win No. 700 in as few seasons, but it took the Orange 53 more games than Maryland. In fact, Maryland needed only 940 games to reach 700 wins and only Johns Hopkins needed fewer games (932) to hit the historic number, but the Blue Jays did so in their 105th season.

Terps' 90th Season Of Lacrosse

• The Terps boast an all-time record of 760-257-4 (.746), dating back to the first varsity team in 1924 (a team was not fielded in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II). Maryland has finished every one of its previous 89 seasons with a .500 or better record, including last season when the Terps went 12-6. The program reached the 700-win milestone with a 15-6 victory over Penn on April 14, 2009 at Ludwig Field.

• During the decade of the 2000s, Maryland went 111-49 for a .694 win percentage, making it the winningest decade in Terrapin lacrosse history. In the decade of the 1990s, Maryland posted a 95-47 record. The .669 winning percentage matched Maryland's win percentage of the 1980s when the Terps went 83-41 and also compiled a .669 win percentage.

• So far, Maryland is 38-13 in the 2010's for a .745 winning percentage - on pace for the best decade in Maryland history.

A Family Affair

• Many school's refer to their sports programs as families, but the Maryland men's lacrosse program is truly a family affair. Since 2001, the Terps have had 13 sets of brothers, including three on this season's roster, don the red and black together for at least one season.

Inaugural Big Ten Season

• The 2015 season marks the University of Maryland's men's lacrosse team's inaugural campaign competing in the Big Ten Conference. It follows an announcement from the conference office on June 3, 2013 that the Big Ten had secured six men's teams when Johns Hopkins was accepted as a sport affiliate member for men's lacrosse only. The Big Ten has six men's programs: Maryland, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers.

• The six programs that will comprise Big Ten men's lacrosse boast 56 national championships, with schools that have competed for more than a century. Johns Hopkins has been an independent since 1883 and leads all schools with 44 national championships. Maryland has claimed 11 national titles, while Rutgers has also won a national championship.

• The Scarlet Knights launched men's lacrosse in 1887, followed by programs starting in 1913 for Penn State, 1924 for Maryland and 1953 for Ohio State. Michigan instituted a men's lacrosse program in 2012. Maryland, Ohio State and Penn State each qualified for the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship this season, with the Buckeyes advancing to the quarterfinals.
