The NCAA holds annual single-elimination tournaments to decide the national champion in both Division I men's and women's lacrosse. Syracuse has been the most successful program in men's lacrosse, winning 10 national championships (an additional title was later vacated due to player eligibility). Johns Hopkins is a close second, claiming nine titles. On the women's side, Maryland has been the most dominant program, winning a record 14 national championships. Six of those titles have come since 2001, when women's lacrosse became a Division I sport. Before then, the title was a national collegiate championship.
