STORYLINES BY THE NUMBERS
1 – Maryland won its third one-goal game of the season on April 20 at No. 9 Ohio State, thanks in part to the player who wears No. 1, Jared Bernhardt. The Longwood, Fla. native delivered the game-winning goal in overtime just 31 seconds into the extra period, his third game-winning goal of the year.
3 – Maryland had three players earn All-Big Ten honors on Tuesday in senior Curtis Corley, junior Jared Bernhardt and sophomore Logan Wisnauskas. Corley and Bernhardt were both named first team selections, while Wisnauskas garnered a spot on the second team.
4 – Maryland spread out the scoring in the team's come-from-behind win over Rutgers on April 14, with four different players recording a hat trick in the 16-13 victory. It was the first time since at least 1998 that four different Terps recorded a hat trick in the same game. Of the 10 teams in Division I lacrosse to produce four hat trick scorers in the same game this season, Maryland reached the feat in the fewest goals scored overall (16). Â
5 – Maryland is 5-2 all-time in the Big Ten Tournament, which includes back-to-back tournament championships in 2017 and 2018. Thursday marks the second-ever Big Ten Tournament meeting between Maryland and Hopkins.    Â
7 – Sophomore Roman Puglise scored Maryland's first man down goal in over seven years last weekend vs. Johns Hopkins, scoring in transition at the 5:07 mark in the first quarter. The goal was assisted by senior goalie Danny Dolan – the first of his collegiate career. Maryland's last man down goal came on February 6, 2012 from Joe Cummings vs. UMBC.  Â
10 – Maryland held Ohio State to under 10 goals for just the third time for the Buckeyes this season in the Terps' 10-9 OT victory on April 20. Under head coach John Tillman, Maryland has won an incredible 24 straight games when holding opponents to under 10 goals.
17 – Maryland has extended its NCAA-best streak of consecutive double-digit win seasons to 17 after defeating Rutgers 16-13 on April 14. Maryland is just one of two programs nationally that has a streak of 10 or more seasons with at least 10 wins (Duke – 13). Â
69 – Logan Wisnauskas's 69 points this season ranks 10th all-time in program history and second most by a Maryland sophomore. He needs just five points to tie Jack Heim's sophomore record of 74 points set in 1965, and his 4.93 points per game average ranks 11th nationally.    Â
