DIVISION I WOMEN’S LACROSSE CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2015 Championship 2 History 4 All-Time Results 10 Individual Leaders 13 Team Leaders 15 Overtime Games 17 Brackets 19 2015 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Megan Whittle plays key role for title-winning Terps: The role of freshman phenom is hardly a foreign concept for Maryland’s Cathy Reese, a coach who routinely recruits high school All-Americans and turns them into instant stars. The list is endless and remarkable, starting near the very beginning of the Terrapins’ record books, reaching into the recent past with reigning Tewaarton Trophy winner Taylor Cummings, and extending into the here and now with Reese’s latest star rookie. Not many have enjoyed the first season Megan Whittle did in Maryland’s red and yellow. Especially with how perfectly it ended, with the nation’s former top recruit front and center as the No. 1 Terrapins rallied past No. 2 North Carolina, 9-8, to repeat as NCAA Division I women’s lacrosse national champions before 8,143 on May 24 at PPL Park. This came just two years after Maryland (21-1) succumbed to the Tar Heels (18-4), 13-12, in a triple-overtime, title-game thriller at nearby Villanova. “I’m honored to even be sitting here with these guys,” Whittle said during the post-game press conference after finishing with a hat trick and an assist. “Playing every day against the best defenders and with the best attackers ... I figured out my place and my teammates trusted me. “It’s a really special thing to be a part of and I couldn’t be happier.” Maryland’s last loss to North Carolina in suburban Philadelphia two years ago came during Cummings’ rookie year. The 2015 Most Outstanding Player tallied a hat trick and an assist then, a terrific performance despite the final outcome. Having played with and against each other during their Maryland high school days despite being two years apart, Cummings knew Whittle’s game well. She anticipated the same type of performance the rookie provided, knowing it could bring her and her teammates another national title. “Today she stepped up and she didn’t play like a fresh; she didn’t play like a fresh all year,” Cummings said after finishing with five points in the game and 100 overall. “We’re lucky to have her.” A third-team All-American who led the national champions with 67 goals this season, Whittle was especially poised in the second half, helping the Terrapins overcome a 6-3 halftime deficit. She became demonstrative and even a tad emotional after assisting on Cummings’ goal with 19:12 left that forged a 6-6 tie, then after hitting the back of the net twice within a 65-second span to stake her team to an 8-6 lead with 15:51 remaining. “I could feel it,” Whittle said. “I think everything was starting to click in the second half at that point.” After such a remarkable rookie debut, Whittle will present game-planning problems for coaches across the country the next three years as the Terrapins hope to continue their dynasty. North Carolina coach Jenny Levy kidded that she wished Whittle was one of Reese’s graduating seniors, but smiled while conceding, “I think she’s a great player.” A great player just one season into her college career, and a great player Reese will return along with Cummings and midfielder Zoe Studenberg (60 points) in 2016. “She’s a great player. She’s a great scorer, she’s a great dodger,” Reese said. “For her coming in as a freshman where I returned three first-team All-Americans on offense was really a challenge, and really it was finding her place. “She does whatever you ask. Her teammates do trust her with the ball. She can dodge, she can score with the ball and I think she learned a lot this year about how to play as part of a team. I think she’s going to be a fun player to watch over her career.” 2015 Championship 2 2015 RESULTS FIRST ROUND Massachusetts 13, Jacksonville 8 Notre Dame 13, Ohio St. 11 Northwestern 10, Louisville 7 Loyola Maryland 21, Bryant 3 Penn 11, Albany (NY) 10 (OT) Southern California 13, James Madison 10 Princeton 18, Fairfield 8 Virginia 18, Winthrop 6 Penn St. 14, Johns Hopkins 11 Florida 15, Stanford 10 SECOND ROUND Maryland 19, Massachusetts 8 Northwestern 16, Notre Dame 11 Loyola Maryland 19, Boston College 12 Syracuse 13, Penn 10 Duke 17, Southern California 9 Princeton 8, Stony Brook 4 Penn St. 13, Virginia 11 North Carolina 11, Florida 6 QUARTERFINALS Syracuse 10, Loyola Maryland 7 Maryland 17, Northwestern 5 Duke 7, Princeton 3 North Carolina 11, Penn St. 8 SEMIFINALS Maryland 10, Syracuse 8 North Carolina 16, Duke 7 CHAMPIONSHIP Maryland 9, North Carolina 8 2015 Championship 3 HISTORY RESULTS Year Champion (Record) Coach Score Runner-Up Host or Site Game Total Attendance Attendance 1982 Massachusetts (10-0) Pamela Hixon 9-6 TCNJ TCNJ 242 242 1983 Delaware (18-2) Janet Smith 10-7 Temple Penn 2,880 — 1984 Temple (16-2) Tina Sloan Green 6-4 Maryland Boston U. — 1,938 1985 New Hampshire (11-3) Marisa Didio 6-5 Maryland Penn 856 1,157 1986 Maryland (15-4) Sue Tyler 11-10 Penn St. Maryland 1,500 1,555 1987 Penn St. (17-2) Susan Scheetz 7-6 Temple Maryland 1,075 1,169 1988 Temple (19-0) Tina Sloan Green 15-7 Penn St. Haverford 870 2,570 1989 Penn St. (19-1-0) Susan Scheetz 7-6 Harvard West Chester — 2,661 1990 Harvard (15-0) Carole Kleinfelder 8-7 Maryland Princeton — 2,367 1991 Virginia (11-1) Jane Miller 8-6 Maryland TCNJ — 2,338 1992 Maryland (14-1) Cindy Timchal 11-10 (OT) Harvard Lehigh 2,173 1,799 1993 Virginia (15-1) Jane Miller 8-6 (OT) Princeton Maryland 2,000 2,730 1994 Princeton (16-1) Chris Sailer 10-7 Maryland Maryland — 2,859 1995 Maryland (17-0) Cindy Timchal 13-5 Princeton TCNJ 4,735 9,247 1996 Maryland (19-0) Cindy Timchal 10-5 Virginia Lehigh — 2,381 1997 Maryland (21-1) Cindy Timchal 8-7 Loyola Maryland Lehigh — 3,571 1998 Maryland (18-3) Cindy Timchal 11-5 Virginia UMBC 3,109 6,080 1999 Maryland (21-0) Cindy Timchal 16-6 Virginia Johns Hopkins 4,996 7,759 2000 Maryland (21-1) Cindy Timchal 16-8 Princeton TCNJ 1,958 4,788 2001 Maryland (23-0) Cindy Timchal 14-13 (3 OT) Georgetown Johns Hopkins 3,765 7,967 2002 Princeton (19-1) Chris Sailer 12-7 Georgetown Loyola Maryland 5,422 9,023 2003 Princeton (16-4) Chris Sailer 8-7 (OT) Virginia Syracuse 1,630 6,614 2004 Virginia (19-3) Julie Myers 10-4 Princeton Princeton 4,922 13,623 2005 Northwestern (21-0) Kelly Amonte Hiller 13-10 Virginia Navy 4,634 10,635 2006 Northwestern (20-1) Kelly Amonte Hiller 7-4 Dartmouth Boston U. 6,074 14,976 2007 Northwestern (21-1) Kelly Amonte Hiller 15-13 Virginia Penn 6,085 18,369 2008 Northwestern (21-1) Kelly Amonte Hiller 10-6 Penn Towson 6,125 19,093 2009 Northwestern (23-0) Kelly Amonte Hiller 21-7 North Carolina Towson 6,515 20,698 2010 Maryland (22-1) Cathy Reese 13-11 Northwestern Towson 9,782 26,112 2011 Northwestern (21-2) Kelly Amonte Hiller 8-7 Maryland Stony Brook 8,011 19,319 2012 Northwestern (21-2) Kelly Amonte Hiller 8-6 Syracuse Stony Brook 7,127 30,997 2013 North Carolina (18-3) Jenny Levy 13-12 (3 OT) Maryland Villanova 9,391 24,962 2014 Maryland (23-1) Cathy Reese 15-12 Syracuse Towson 10,311 25,474 2015 Maryland (21-1) Cathy Reese 9-8 North Carolina Chester, Pa. 8,143 18,674 Note: Before 2001, this championship was a national collegiate championship.
