Although the Maryland men’s lacrosse program has not captured an NCAA Division I championship since 1975, the team did put an end to another decades-long drought.
For the first time since 1987, the Terps were awarded the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Big Ten regular-season and tournament champion will open its quest for the school’s first national title since 1975 on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at Maryland Stadium in College Park when it hosts the winner of Wednesday’s play-in game between Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament title winner Quinnipiac (11-3) and America East tournament champion Hartford (11-6).
