Been A While

UMass men's lacrosse ended a 368-day streak between games played when it defeated Fairfield, 13-9 on Sun., March 14
This is the longest gap between games in program history, which dates back to 1954
Massachusetts last started a season on or after March 14 in 1995 when it opened at No. 1 Virginia on March 19
The 1995 season was current 27th-year head coach Greg Cannella's first at the helm of the program

Rolling Squad Deep

Massachusetts began the season with 49 student-athletes on its roster
The 49 student-athletes represent the largest roster in program history
It includes six graduate students, seven seniors, nine juniors, 13 sophomores and 14 freshmen

Troop Alphas

Graduate students Charlie O'Brien, Billy Philpott, Jackson Suboch and Jeff Trainor will serve as team captains during the 2021 season. It is O'Brien, Philpott and Trainor's second consecutive season as captains and Suboch's first.
O'Brien totaled six points over the seven-season in 2020 on two goals and four assists, while he added six groundballs and two caused turnovers. All six points came in the final five games of the season.
Philpott posted 16 points through 14 goals and two assists during 2020. As a two-way midfielder, Philpott also had seven groundballs.
Trainor finished third on the team in 2020 with 20 points via 14 goals and six assists. He also scooped up 12 groundballs and caused six turnovers during the season as he went on to win Inside Lacrosse All-America.

Cold Weather Climate Troop

UMass led Fairfield, 7-6, with more than 12 minutes remaining in the game on March 14 when a snow squall arrived from the North. Massachusetts scored six of the final nine goals following the storm's arrival and won, 13-9.
Balanced offense paved the way as six different scorers accounted for the final six goals: Dillon Arrant, Chris Connolly, Kevin Cutinella, Jake Dulac, Charlie O'Brien and Billy Philpott.
Defensively, the squad forced Fairfield into four failed clears and limited the Stags to five on-target shots.

More Than A FOGO

Zack Hochman scored his first collegiate goal in the 13-9 win over Fairfield, doing so with 3:49 to play in the second quarter. Hochman's goal put UMass in front, 5-4, only 11 seconds after Gabriel Procyk tied it at 4-all.
In addition to his goal, Hochman went 12-of-21 (.571) on faceoffs, grabbed 12 groundballs and caused a turnover.
Hochman added his second collegiate goal in the win over Drexel on March 20, 2021

Knote In His House

Matt Knote made a career-high 21 saves in the 13-7 victory over Drexel on March 20, 2021, four more than his prior one-game best.
Knote is the latest goalie to make 21 saves as then-senior Sean Sconone had that total in a win over Fairfield on April 20, 2019. Prior to that, the last UMass goalie to have as many was Doc Schneider when he made 21 stops in a 7-6 overtime victory at Hobart on April 11, 2009.
