Two Big Ten Teams Selected to NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament 

<div class="payload-richtext"><a href="https://bigten.org/mlax/article/59420/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
 TOURNAMENT CENTRAL
 </a> Piscataway, N.J. – No. 2 seed Penn State (9-5, 3-2) defeated No. 1 seed Johns Hopkins (9-5, 3-2) 16-8 in the Big Ten Men’s Lacrosse Tournament Championship game. The Nittany Lions dominated the second half to earn the program’s second title, the last being in 2019. The first half was met with back-and-forth action that included three ties and three lead changes. A goal by Johns Hopkins’ All-Tournament Team member Jimmy Ayers early in the second quarter put the Blue Jays up 4-3, but Penn State scored three unanswered goals to take a 6-4 lead heading into the locker room.  To open the third quarter, Matt Collison and Hunter Chauvette scored back-to-back goals for the Blue Jays to even the game at 6-6. Shortly after, Penn State found its footing and demonstrated why it is second in the NCAA in shooting percentage, scoring five unanswered goals to end the quarter.  A quick goal from Chauvette closed the lead to 11-7 to start the fourth quarter, but the Nittany Lions went on another run, scoring four straight, which included two goals from junior Kyle Lehman, effectively putting the game out of reach. Penn State sophomore Hunter Aquino earned Most Outstanding Player honors. He opened the match with the first goal, and finished the day with two goals, two assists and a caused turnover. He also recorded a hat trick in the semifinals win against Maryland.  All-Tournament Team member and faceoff specialist Colby Baldwin was instrumental in the Nittany Lions’ tournament efforts, going 11-of-15 on the day and 17-of-25 in the tournament. Penn State led all schools with five players on the All-Tournament Team.The Big Ten will find out how many of its teams qualify for the postseason when the NCAA Selection Show airs Sunday evening at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU.  Tournament Most Outstanding Player:   Hunter Aquino, Penn State 2026 Big Ten Men’s Lacrosse All-Tournament Team   Brooks English, Johns Hopkins  Hunter Chauvette, Johns Hopkins  Jimmy Ayers, Johns Hopkins  Thomas Gravino, Maryland  Nick Roode, Michigan  Alex Ross, Penn State  Colby Baldwin, Penn State  Hunter Aquino, Penn State  Kyle Lehman, Penn State  Preston Hawkins, Penn State </div>

MLAX Tournament Champions

2026 Big Ten Men's Lacrosse Tournament Central

<div class="payload-richtext">Photo by Dakota Moyer <a href="https://bigten.org/article/59283/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
 TOURNAMENT CENTRAL
 </a>  PISCATAWAY, N.J. – No. 1 seed Johns Hopkins and No. 2 seed Penn State will advance to the 2026 Big Ten Lacrosse Tournament championship game. Both schools won a share of the regular season title, and it marks the second time the two schools will square off against each other in the tournament finals.  Johns Hopkins (9-4, 3-2) held on against No. 5 seed Michigan (6-9, 2-3), 14-12, in the first semifinal matchup at SHI Stadium.  The second quarter saw intense back-and-forth action, and with the Wolverines down 7-5, goalie Hunter Taylor took matters into his own hands. The senior captain carried the ball towards half field, and after going unmarked by a Johns Hopkins defender, he committed to attacking the lane and sent a shot to the back of the net to make the score 7-6. However, Johns Hopkins still entered the locker room with an 8-7 advantage after a goal from Chuck Rawson. The Blue Jays opened the second half with four straight goals to take a 12-7 lead, but Michigan stormed back with five straight goals of their own to tie the game at 12 apiece with 8:09 remaining in the fourth. Hunter Chauvette and Brooks English then scored two solo goals to put Johns Hopkins up 14-12. For the last 6:41, both teams remained scoreless which cemented the win for the Blue Jays. Chauvette led all players with five points on the evening. In the second game of the evening, Penn State (8-5, 3-2) bested Maryland (7-6, 3-2) in a defensive battle. After the Nittany Lions took a 5-3 lead after the first three quarters, Liam Matthews opened the quarter with a Penn State goal to take a three-goal lead. However, the Terps responded with two consecutive scores from Jack Schultz and Braden Erksa to trail by just one at 6-5 with 6:12 remaining on the clock. After goals from each team, Penn State’s Andrew Beard scored a goal to put the Nittany Lions up 8-6 with 1:30 remaining, ultimately icing the game. Maryland was only able to earn one more possession but failed to score, securing the win for Penn State. Hunter Aquino, last year’s Big Ten Freshman of the Year, led all scorers with a hat-trick and also added a caused turnover in the winning effort. Johns Hopkins and Penn State will meet at 12 p.m. ET Saturday in the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game, marking a rematch of the 2019 Championship game, which was also at SHI Stadium. Penn State claimed the title in a  18-17 win, the highest scoring tournament game in conference history. If the Blue Jays win, it will be their first Big Ten Tournament Championship title since 2018. </div>

Big Ten Semis

Johns Hopkins and Penn State Set to Play for Big Ten Men’s Lacrosse Tournament Championship 

<div class="payload-richtext">ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Big Ten Conference released its individual award winners, All-Big Ten teams and Sportsmanship Award recipients for men's lacrosse on Wednesday. Johns Hopkins’ Matt Collison and Oran Gelinas were selected as Offensive Player of the Year and Specialist of the Year, respectively. Ohio State’s Cullen Brown was named Defensive Player of the Year and Penn State’s Jack Iannantuono was tabbed Freshman of the Year. Peter Milliman of Johns Hopkins was named Coach of the Year. Ohio State produced both a conference-high five All-Big Ten and three All-Big Ten Freshman selections. The 10-member first, second, and freshmen teams, along with the individual awards, were voted on by conference head coaches. Collison becomes the first Johns Hopkins player to win Offensive Player of the Year since 2015, the first year the award was handed out. The senior midfielder has been vital in helping the Blue Jays claim a share of their third Big Ten title in four years. He recorded 36 points this season, including 24 goals and 12 assists. In all eight of the Blue Jays’ wins, Collison recorded three or more points. He was also named a nominee for the <a href="https://bigten.org/mlax/article/59876/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
 Tewaaraton Award on Saturday
 </a>, given to the best player in college lacrosse. Gelinas becomes the Blue Jays’ first Big Ten Specialist of the Year award winner, and the fourth goalie in a row to win the award. The senior was a steady presence in the net in conference play to help lead the Blue Jays to a regular season title, as he led the conference with 13.4 saves per game. Gelinas won four Big Ten Specialist of the Week awards this season, including one on March 31 for recording a conference-high 19 saves against Rutgers. Brown, a senior, has been an integral part of a Buckeyes defense that has allowed an NCAA and Big Ten low of 7.08 goals per game on the season. To help the Buckeyes to their second-consecutive share of the Big Ten title, he has tallied a conference-best 25 caused turnovers in regular season play. Against Johns Hopkins, Brown recorded five ground balls and four caused turnovers while helping hold Offensive Player of the Year Collison to his only pointless game of the season. Brown becomes the Buckeyes’ first Defensive Player of the Year since Robby Haus won the award in 2016.  As a freshman, Iannantuono played a key role in the Nittany Lions’ share of the regular season title. He tallied 16 goals and 16 assists. His 32 points were best among freshman and ninth best in the league this season. He becomes the second-consecutive Nittany Lion to win the award. Milliman led Johns Hopkins to a share of its third regular season title after defeating Maryland 9-8 in Baltimore on April 18. The Blue Jays went 3-2 during the conference campaign to earn the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and are ranked sixth nationally by USILA. The Big Ten also recognized six Sportsmanship Award honorees. The students chosen are individuals who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These students must also be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. The Big Ten Tournament begins Saturday with quarterfinal matches at Maryland and Ohio State.

<div class="payload-richtext">Rosemont, Ill. – Maryland secured at least a share of the 2026 Big Ten men's lacrosse championship with Saturday’s 12-2 win over No. 19 Rutgers.

The Terps also held the Scarlet Knights to their lowest goal total this year. Maryland also controlled the faceoff X throughout the game, going 12-18. Specialist Henry Dodge played a key part in the Terps' success, as he went 8-10 and corralled seven groundballs.  Maryland can clinch the 2026 title outright next Saturday with a win at rival Johns Hopkins, with an opening faceoff scheduled for 2 p.m. ET in Baltimore, Md.  The <a href="https://bigten.org/mlax/article/59420/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
