Maryland men’s lacrosse coach John Tillman was named Big Ten Coach of the Year, while attackman Matt Rambo was awarded Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and defender Tim Muller was tabbed Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday.
Since taking charge of the Terps in 2010, Tillman has guided the program to a 90-29 record. He’s led the team to five Final Fours and four NCAA championship appearances.
This year, Tillman has managed Maryland to a 10-3 mark and third straight conference regular-season title, earning him his first-ever Big Ten recognition.
Meanwhile, Rambo has paced the Terps’ revamped offense, which has scored over a goal per game more than it did last year. The senior ranks first on the team in goals (33), assists (30) and shots (104). Against Johns Hopkins, the senior broke the program’s all-time points record with his second of three goals.
Muller picked up two ground balls and caused a turnover in the 12-5 win over the Blue Jays, continuing his impressive season as the veteran anchor of Maryland’s defense. Overall, the senior has picked up 23 ground balls and caused 13 giveaways.
