Hall of Fame coach Gary Williams’ Terps reached college basketball’s pinnacle when they defeated Indiana, 64-52, on April 1, 2002, to claim Maryland’s first national championship.

Regional MVP Lonny Baxter scored 24 points as Maryland advanced to its first Final Four in history with a convincing 87-73 win over No. 1 overall seed Stanford. 

Juan Dixon added 17 points, while Byron Mouton locked down All-American Casey Jacobsen.

Led by six goals from Caroline Steele, the Maryland women’s lacrosse team defeated Boston College, 16-13, to win its 14th national championship and end the 2017 season a perfect 23-0. 

Maryland completed a perfect season for the first time since 2001 and the fifth time in program history as it won its third national title in four years. The Terps won all 23 games by an average of eight goals, won the Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships, had its sixth Tewaaraton winner in a row with Zoe Stukenberg taking home lacrosse’s most prestigious honor and had the National Midfielder, Defender and Goalkeeper of the Year, respectively.

Never ranked in the top-25 during the regular season, Maryland rebounded from a 4-5-3 start to finish the season on a 9-1-1 tear to capture its fourth national title. 

Led by a stellar backline that featured standout center back Donovan Pines and goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair, the Terps were unscored upon in the NCAA Tournament. Senior captain Amar Sejdic scored the winning goal in the title game to finish off one of the great in-season turnarounds in college soccer history.
