All six ACC teams are ranked in the top 10 of both the Warrior/Inside Lacrosse media poll and the USILA Coaches

The ACC owns a 37-5 mark against non-conference foes this season, with 10 wins over ranked non-league
opponents, and six of those coming against top-10 competition.
The ACC has 18 student-athletes on the 2014 Tewaaraton Award (the Heisman Trophy of college lacrosse) watch
list – more than twice as many as from any other conference.
Eight of the 13 winners of the Tewaaraton Award have played for a current ACC men’s lacrosse team.
The ACC had 20 players selected in the 2014 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft, including three first-round
picks.
Historically, current ACC men’s lacrosse membership has combined for 166 NCAA appearances and 24 titles (in
43 years).
Only nine programs have won the national title in history, and five of those nine are currently in the ACC.
NCAA Titles by School: Syracuse 11, Virginia 5, North Carolina 4, Duke 2, Maryland 2.
The six current ACC men’s lacrosse teams combine for 47 appearances in the national championship.
There has been at least one of the current ACC men’s lacrosse teams in the national championship game for 26
consecutive years.
Duke defeated Syracuse 16-10 in the 2013 NCAA Championship game played at Lincoln Financial Field.
