COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Legendary coach Cindy Timchal reached another historic milestone with her 600th career victory, further cementing her legacy as one of the most influential figures in the history of women's collegiate lacrosse.

Timchal is best known for building the modern dynasty of the Maryland Terrapins women's lacrosse during her tenure from 1991–2006. Under her leadership, Maryland became the sport's premier program, capturing eight NCAA National Championships and appearing in nine NCAA title games. Her teams were known for their fast-paced style of play, elite talent, and relentless competitiveness, helping elevate Maryland into a national powerhouse.

During her time in College Park, Timchal compiled an extraordinary 226–18 record, one of the highest winning percentages in NCAA history. Maryland dominated the sport throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, winning seven straight NCAA titles from 1995–2001, one of the most impressive championship runs in college lacrosse history.

Beyond the championships, Timchal's influence on the game extended through the players she developed and the coaches she mentored. Many of her former athletes went on to become leaders in the sport themselves, continuing to grow the game at every level.

After leaving Maryland, Timchal continued her coaching career and success at U.S. Naval Academy women's lacrosse, where she built another competitive program and ultimately reached the 600-win milestone on Tuesday, a testament to her longevity, leadership, and lasting impact on women's lacrosse.

With six hundred career victories, Timchal's legacy remains deeply intertwined with the rise of Maryland lacrosse and the growth of the sport nationwide. Her time leading the Terrapins helped shape one of the most dominant eras in college athletics and set the standard for excellence that continues to define the program today.
