College lacrosse records shown here are primarily records compiled by the NCAA's Director of Statistics office.
College lacrosse records are shown here while providing as comprehensive a listing and as comprehensive a sourcing, as well as citations for researching the history of lacrosse, the history of college lacrosse players. Where appropriate, prose, details and links are provided for certain lacrosse players and certain records sections.
Included in this consolidation are the Men's Division I individual single-season and career leaders. Official college men's lacrosse records did not begin until the 1971 season and are based on information submitted to the NCAA statistics service by institutions participating in the weekly statistics rankings, which started in 1996. Career records include players who played at least three seasons (in a four-season career) or two (in a three-season career) in Division I during the era of official NCAA statistics. In statistical rankings, the rounding of percentages and/or averages may indicate ties where none exist. In these cases, the numerical order of the rankings is accurate.
Also included here are pre-NCAA records, college lacrosse records from prior to 1971. Compiling and validating lacrosse records prior to the "NCAA-era" is hit-or-miss. In many cases, USILA records can be gathered from a university's own record books. To date, the NCAA does not officially recognize lacrosse records prior to 1971 as well as several records during the NCAA era, and neither the NCAA nor the USILA maintain a searchable database of lacrosse records.
USILA era lacrosse records, nonetheless, have been included below. In other cases, career or single-season records are indicated below, where the NCAA has not validated or officially recognized that record, for players during the "NCAA-era", post-1971.
