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.
Senior Day
- Massachusetts hosted Senior Day for its the classes of 2020 and 2021 prior to the game against Towson with a short, on-field ceremony
- UMass honored the seven members of its Class of 2020: Cameron Carpenter, Charlie O'Brien, Dan O'Brien, Billy Philpott, Devin Spencer, Jackson Suboch and Jeff Trainor who were unable to have their Senior Day ceremony in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Six of the seven returned to compete as graduate students in 2021, including Carpenter, Charlie O'Brien, Philpott, Spencer, Suboch and Trainor.
- Massachusetts also recognized its seven-member Class of 2021: Joe Casucci, Chris Connolly, Kevin Cutinella, Sam Eisenstadt, Clayton Proctor, Jack Siebert and Kevin Tobin. The Class of 2021 retains an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic and members may opt to return for competition as graduate students in 2022.

- UMass scored on 82 of its 253 shots through seven games this season (.324)

- The only player to rank in the top-65 nationally is graduate student midfielder Billy Philpott with his .379 shot percentage (11-of-29)
Mimico Made
- Graduate student close defenseman Jackson Suboch leads the team with 48 caused turnovers in his career
- It's also the eighth-most by a player in program history and only three away from surpassing Kyle Karaska in seventh (50; 2013-16)
- Suboch has all 48 in the last four years (46 games) during his sophomore, junior, senior and graduate student seasons
- He also accumulated all 72 of his career groundballs in that same four-year span
