History
The first Division I Men’s Championship tournament held in 1971 replaced the USILA and Wingate Memorial Trophy national title awards. Since then, 42 NCAA tournaments have been held. In that span nine teams — Johns Hopkins, Syracuse, Princeton, North Carolina, Virginia, Cornell, Duke, Maryland, and Loyola — have won the national title, with Syracuse leading with ten titles. In Women’s Lacrosse, Maryland with 12 titles and Northwestern with 7 are the most successful teams.
