Ranked number one in the nation since the first official week of the season, Maryland never vacated the top spot the rest of the year en route to the 2022 NCAA Title. The Terps have held the top spot in four of the last six seasons.

When Logan Wisnauskas was named 2022 Tewaaraton Award Winner he followed Jared Bernhardt from last season as back-to-back Terrapin winners. Maryland becomes the first school with consecutive winners since UAlbany in 2014 and 2015. The Terps now have three of the last five winners, with Matt Rambo setting the standard for Bernhardt and Wisnauskas.
Two Tewaaraton winners. Two legendary Terps. Two champions.
