Maryland accumulated plenty of style points throughout the first 17 games of the season.

There weren’t many for the Terrapins last Monday — or any, really, especially in the last 20 minutes of the national title game — but it hardly matters.

Maryland’s 9-7 defeat of Cornell cements the Terps as an unbeaten champion — just the 11th in Division I men’s lacrosse history. And it also means they finish the year where they’ve been since March — as the top team in the Nike/USA Lacrosse Division I Men’s Top 20.

There was movement below the top line and some slotting that doesn’t match up with how far programs advanced in the postseason. Virginia remains a top-four team despite a quarterfinal loss; its great sin was getting bracketed with Maryland a round or two early.

Georgetown sits at No. 6 despite its first-round ouster. The Hoyas’ season-long consistency carries some weight despite their 10-9 loss to Delaware.

And Notre Dame, not even invited to the tournament, yields ground to a pair of final four teams but still checks in at No. 8. The Fighting Irish will carry a six-game winning streak into next season — and how many victories it could have tacked onto that run in May will remain the great unknown of the just-concluded postseason.
