Maryland has the most alums competing in the title game by a large margin, with Virginia (4) and Notre Dame (3) rounding out the top-3.
Jeremy Sieverts ('09) and Drew Snider ('12) of the Denver Outlaws are going for their second MLL Championship in the last three seasons, and are joined by Max Schmidt ('11).
