STORYLINES BY THE NUMBERS

4 – Maryland had four players garner 2019 preseason All-America honors via Inside Lacrosse this season in Jared Bernhardt (2^nd), Curtis Corley (3^rd), Bubba Fairman (HM) and Justin Shockey (HM). Bernhardt and Corley are both coming off All-American campaigns in 2018, with Bernhardt garnering third team honors and Corley earning an honorable mention nod.

5 – The Terps will face five teams in the regular season that competed in last year's NCAA Tournament this year with Maryland scheduled to face Richmond, Notre Dame, Albany, Villanova and Johns Hopkins in 2019. The Terrapins have led the country in RPI for the last three seasons, and will again be challenged in 2019 with a schedule that features 10 teams ranked inside the top-20 of the final 2018 Maverick Media Poll.

7 – Maryland holds a 7-1 advantage in the all-time series between the two schools, and the teams will meet for the first time since the 2006 season on February 2. This will be the first time in series history the two programs meet in a season opener.

9.83 – The Terrapins took care of the ball better than any other team in the country last season, allowing the fewest turnovers in the nation (9.83) per game. Under head coach John Tillman, Maryland has remained one of the most disciplined teams in the country, ranking in the top-five three times in the past four seasons in turnovers per game.   

14 – Senior captain Curtis Corley is back to anchor the Maryland defensive unit in 2019. The 2018 Honorable Mention All-American led the team in caused turnovers with 14, and will again be tasked with covering the opposition's top player this year.

The duo combined for 61 goals as freshmen, the most-ever by a pair of Maryland freshmen in program history. Wisnauskas and Fairman's 85 points are the second-most by two freshman in the same season, and the most since Matt Hahn and Andrew Whipple combined for 87 in 1995.
