Maryland Earns Fourth Seed In NCAA Tournament, Will Host Army

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The University of Maryland men's lacrosse team (10-5) has received the fourth overall seed in the 2023 NCAA Tournament and will face Army.

The Terps will host the Black Knights on Saturday, May 13 at 7:30 pm. Maryland's first round game will be broadcast on ESPNU and played in College Park at SECU Stadium.

Army (12-3) is an automatic qualifier into the tournament by way of winning the Patriot League Conference. Maryland holds a 20-19 advantage against Army all-time, though the two teams have not played since 2004.

Coming off an undefeated 18-0 season where they were ultimately crowned National Championships, the Terrapins are making their 45th NCAA Tournament appearance and NCAA-best 20th straight. Maryland also secured its NCAA-best 20th consecutive 10-win season earlier this year.

Head coach John Tillman sports a 28-9 all-time record in the NCAA Tournament (all at Maryland), which currently ranks sixth all-time among coaches in tournament wins. Additionally, the Terrapins' 28 NCAA wins since Tillman took over the program in 2011 is the most in the nation. 

Tillman's 12 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances is the longest-ever streak for a Maryland coach, increasing his lead over the legendary Bud Beardmore's nine-tournament streak from 1971-79.

The Terps have been to nine NCAA semifinals in ten full seasons (2011-12, 2014-18, 2021, 2022) under head coach John Tillman, including seven national title game appearances and two championships. 

The winner of Maryland's first round matchup will advance to face the winner of Penn State/Princeton in the NCAA Quarterfinals at Navy in Annapolis, MD on Sunday, May 21st. 

Ticket information will be shared once available.
