Cardin Stoller was a big part of history on Saturday, making 14 saves and even scoring a full-field goal that iced Rutgers' 8-6 win over Maryland — the highest-ranked win in program history for the Scarlet Knights.

It was Rutgers' first win over Maryland since 1980, snapping a 19-game skid.

It was a defensive slugfest, with Rutgers racing out to a 5-1 lead after the first quarter. Only eight more goals were scored the rest of the game.

Stoller saved 70 percent of the shots he faced, stonewalling a Terps offense that outshot Rutgers 40-28. He is the USA Lacrosse Division I Men's Player of the Week.

A redshirt-sophomore from Owings Mills, Md., Stoller has double-digit saves in every game but one in 2025. He's saved 59 percent of shots across 12 games, ranking in the top 10 nationally.

DIVISION II

Chris Claflin, Saint Anselm

The 5-8, 155-pound junior played well above his size in a historic win for the Hawks. They beat Adelphi for the first time in program history, and his one goal and five assists facilitated most of the action.

Saint Anselm ended a 25-game winning streak for Adelphi, the 2024 NCAA Division II champion. The Hawks were 0-19 against the Panthers until Saturday.

DIVISION III

Nate Schilling, York

Just a freshman, Schilling was pivotal in a signature win for York. In a 20-11 win over Gettysburg, the Spartans deposited seven goals on 11 shots while adding two assists and three ground balls.

He added a pair of goals a few days later in a 12-10 win over Albright.
