# 2022 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse tournament

The 2022 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship was the 51st annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national championship for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I men's college lacrosse.
Eighteen teams competed in the tournament based upon their performance during the regular season. For ten teams, entry into the tournament was by means of a conference tournament automatic qualifier, while for the remaining eight teams at-large selection was determined by the NCAA selection committee.
After losing in the championship game the year prior, Maryland won their fourth NCAA-era national championship, capping off an undefeated season and becoming just the 14th undefeated national champion, and the first 18 and 0 team. In the national championship game against Cornell, the Terrapins led 9–2 in the latter stages of the third quarter before Cornell closed the game on a five-goal run. Maryland goalkeeper Logan McNaney made 17 saves.
