The Maryland Terrapins men's lacrosse team represents the University of Maryland in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I lacrosse as a member of the Big Ten Conference. Maryland was a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference before withdrawing after the 2014 season.
Since 1924, Maryland has secured numerous national championship honors, including four NCAA tournament championships, eight Wingate Memorial Trophy titles and one United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association championship.[2] They have reached 29 NCAA tournament semi-finals since 1971. Maryland is the only major college lacrosse team to have never finished a season with a losing record.[3] The team is currently coached by John Tillman.
Johns Hopkins, located in nearby Baltimore, are considered the Terrapins' biggest rivals. The two schools have played more than 100 times since the series began in 1895,[4][5][6] although Maryland does not officially recognize games that occurred prior to lacrosse becoming a varsity sport at Maryland in 1924. In 2015, the rivalry became a conference game, as Hopkins joined the Big Ten Conference as an associate member in lacrosse. The Terps have had the Blue Jays number since joining the Big Ten, boasting a 10–5 head to head record and having won 6 of 7 meetings dating from 2021–2023. Maryland holds a 3–0 record vs. Hopkins in the conference tournament during that time period as well. Other rivals include Virginia, Navy, Towson, and UMBC.
