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.

Locked Down

Massachusetts only allowed two man-up goals during 13 opportunities through the first four games of the season, which equates to a .846 penalty kill percentage.
It ranks UMass third in the nation for man-down defense and first in the CAA.
On the opposite end, Massachusetts is 14th in the nation for man-up offense with goals on six of 14 opportunities (.429).

Doing The Family Proud

Graduate student midfielder and attack Devin Spencer leads UMass with 16 points through four games. He has four goals and a team-best 12 assists.
Spencer's 12 assists are only one shy of his single-season career best of 13 dished during the 15-game 2019 season. He posted a single-game best of six points (two goals, four assists) at Hofstra on March 30, 2021.
Spencer is the younger brother of Ben Spencer (2016-19), who also played for Massachusetts, and is the son of Ted Spencer, a UMass letterman in 1985 and 1986.

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 followed with his second collegiate goal during the 13-7 win over Drexel on March 20.
He made it three consecutive games with a point when he doled out an assist in the game at No. 19 UAlbany on March 23.

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.
