DIVISION I WOMEN’S LACROSSE CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2016 Championship 2 History 4 All-Time Results 11 Individual Leaders 15 Team Leaders 17 Overtime Games 19 Brackets 21 2016 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS North Carolina wins national championship: Most Outstanding Player Aly Messinger tied her career high with six points and Megan Ward made a career- high 14 saves as North Carolina beat Maryland 13-7 in the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship final at Talen Energy Stadium. The Tar Heels (20-2) captured their second national championship, joining the 2013 title. North Carolina won 17 consecutive games to finish the season, the longest winning streak in program history, and its 20 wins are the most in school history. The Tar Heels improved to 4-2 in the NCAA tournament against the Terrapins, who fell to 22-1 this season. The win snapped a three-game losing streak in the series for North Carolina and ended Maryland’s 26-game winning streak. “I’m very proud of the coaching staff that we have and my team,” head coach Jenny Levy said afterward. “And we were just gritty and tough all year, and today’s game was no different. We’ve been in tight games all year. I think we’ve played nine one-goal games and all year long we’ve believed we’ve worked hard and we found ways to win, which I think is a great thing. “I don’t even know what the final score was, because you feel in those games that it’s tight all the way to the end. Congratulations to my team. They’ve worked hard all year and they’re gutsy and they’re tough. I think probably one percent out there believed that we might pull this off today and that one percent was sitting in our locker room all year. Maryland is a great team, and we had to play our best to beat them.” Messinger set a career high in assists in the first half and finished with two goals and four assists to tie her career scoring high. Carly Reed had two goals and two assists, Molly Hendrick scored three times and Marie McCool had a goal and two assists for North Carolina. Ela Hazar had two goals and an assist, Sammy Jo Tracy added two goals and Devin Markison added her second goal of the season. Megan Whittle led Maryland with three goals and Caroline Steele had two goals. Zoe Stukenberg had a goal and an assist and Taylor Cummings scored once. Maryland scored less than 10 goals only twice in 2016. Both times have been against the Tar Heels. Ward started in goal for the Tar Heels, making seven first-half saves and finishing with a career-high 14. She has a total of 22 saves in her three NCAA title game appearances with a 2-1 mark in those games. Ward joined Messinger, Reed and McCool on the NCAA All-Tournament Team. North Carolina improved to 2-2 in NCAA championship games in the third meeting of these schools in the national title game in four years. Members of the 2016 Tar Heel senior class improved to 12-2 in NCAA tournament play, capturing national titles in 2013 as freshmen and 2016 as seniors. The Tar Heels started well and continued through much of the first half, going on a 6-0 run after Maryland had taken a 1-0 lead on a free position goal by Stukenberg in the opening two minutes. During the run, Messinger had four assists and five players scored goals, including two by Tracy. After North Carolina had taken a 6-1 lead with 9:45 to go before halftime, the Terrapins closed the half on a 3-0 run (including two goals by Whittle) to make it 6-4. Ward made a save in the closing seconds to preserve the two-goal lead at the break. Messinger started the second half with a pretty, stop-and-go goal that made the score 7-4. Whittle and Cummings scored back-to-back goals for the Terrapins in less than two minutes to cut the lead to one at 7-6 with 23:24 to go, but the Tar Heels responded with a 5-0 run to take a 12-6 lead with 10:23 remaining. 2016 Championship 2 2016 RESULTS First Round Johns Hopkins 12, Virginia 10 Massachusetts 13, Princeton 12 (OT) Cornell 15, Canisius 11 Stanford 9, James Madison 8 Stony Brook 11, Boston College 9 Duke 14, Loyola Maryland 8 Northwestern 15, Louisville 5 Penn 17, Wagner 7 Towson 16, Old Dominion 5 Penn St. 16, Winthrop 6 Second Round Maryland 14, Johns Hopkins 8 Massachusetts 7, Cornell 6 Southern California 14, Stanford 8 Syracuse 7, Stony Brook 6 North Carolina 15, Duke 10 Notre Dame 15, Northwestern 3 Penn 12, Towson 4 Penn St. 14, Florida 13 (OT) Quarterfinals Maryland 18, Massachusetts 3 Syracuse 12, Southern California 11 (OT) North Carolina 10, Notre Dame 6 Penn St. 8, Penn 4 Semifinals Maryland 19, Syracuse 9 North Carolina 12, Penn St. 11 Championship North Carolina 13, Maryland 7 2016 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 2016 North Carolina (20-2) Jenny Levy 13-7 Maryland Chester, Pa. 7,636 24,899 Note: Before 2001, this championship was a national collegiate championship.
