STORYLINES BY THE NUMBERS

3 – Maryland had three players earn All-Big Ten honors on April 30 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).  

5 – Junior Jared Bernhardt has been named one of five finalists in 2019 Men's Division I Lacrosse for the 2019 Tewaaraton Award, becoming the third consecutive Terp (Matt Rambo – '17, Connor Kelly '18) to be named a finalist and the fourth (Joe Walters – '06) since the award's inception.

7 – Maryland has advanced to seven NCAA semifinals in eight seasons (2011-12, 2014-18) under head coach John Tillman, including five national title game appearances. The Terrapins received the No. 1 overall seed three straight seasons from 2016-18, went unseeded in 2011 and 2012, the 7-seed in 2014 and the 6-seed in 2013 and 2015.

17 – Maryland has extended its NCAA-best streak of consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances to 17 with its 42nd all-time selection to the NCAA Tournament in 2019.

20 – Head coach John Tillman sports a 20-7 all-time record in the NCAA Tournament (all at Maryland), which currently ranks 10th all-time among coaches in tournament wins. Additionally, the Terrapins' 20 wins since Tillman took over the program in 2011 is the most in the nation, ahead of Duke (16) and Denver (14).  

71 – Logan Wisnauskas's 71 points this season ranks ninth all-time in program history and second most by a Maryland sophomore. He needs just three points to tie Jack Heim's sophomore record of 74 points set in 1965, and his 4.73 points per game average ranks 11th nationally.    

98 – Maryland's roster enters Sunday's contest with 98 combined games of NCAA Tournament experience. Six players (Bernhardt, Brozowski, Corley, Dubick, Henningsen & Janeck) have played in at least seven NCAA tournament games.
