One of the top offensive players in the history of UMass lacrosse, Jim Weller continues to hold marks untouched by many of the greatest players the program has witnessed. Weller’s 162 career goals still ranks No. 1 all-time for the Minutemen - a mark that was not reached by the great names such as Mark Millon, Scott Hiller, Kevin Leveille or Jeff Zywicki.
Weller's 62 goals scored in 1981 along with his 98 points that year remain single-season records. Additionally, his 94 career assists ranks tied with Will Manny ‘13 for sixth all-time.
He finished his career with 256 career points, which remains the third-highest total in program history. Among the NCAA rankings, Weller’s offensive performance ranks in the top-15 all-time in goals, goals per game and points for a single-season, while he is among the top-25 players in each of those career categories as well.
Weller also played for the Canadian National Field Lacrosse Team in 1982, 1984, 1986 and 1990. He led the Canadian Team in goals and points at the World Championships in 1982, 1984 and 1986. In 1984 and 1986, he was selected to the All-World Team.
