Facing off

• Maryland won its first Big Ten Tournament with a 16-9 defeat of Penn State in the semifinals and 14-8 victory over Rutgers in the championship game. It was just the third time in history the Terps had swept conference regular season and tournament titles.

• Sunday's meeting marks the first matchup in history between Maryland and Quinnipiac. The Terps have a short history against teams currently in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, compiling a 2-0 record with wins over Detroit (2011) and Marist (2012).

• Maryland's seven-man defensive starting unit has played an average of 49 career games, led by Greg Danseglio (61) and Matt Dunn (59). Including the starting six on offense, the Terps have played a collective 703 career games - an average of 46 games per player.

• The Terrapins are 63-4 under John Tillman when scoring at least 10 goals in a game, including a spectacular mark of 44-1 over the last four seasons. That trend has continued this season with a perfect 13-0 mark. Maryland is also 61-4 when leading at halftime under Tillman.

• Junior Matt Rambo became just the 13th player in Maryland history to reach 100 career goals Saturday against Rutgers. He is the first Terp to accompish the feat since Grant Catalino in 2010. Rambo has also tallied a point in 35 straight games and ranks 23rd in Maryland history with 141 points.
