Most Doubles in a Season: Is There a Lacrosse Record?
NCAA Division I, PLL and NLL statistics do not list doubles. See how PLL two-point goals differ and what a properly labeled season record needs.
“Most doubles in a season” is not a standard record category in NCAA Division I, PLL or NLL lacrosse. Their published statistical categories do not use that label. If you mean long-range goals worth two points in the PLL, the statistic to look for is two-point goals, not doubles.
In baseball, a double is a hit that lets the batter reach second base without an intervening error or an attempt to retire another runner. That MLB definition does not describe a lacrosse scoring event.
What the lacrosse statistics actually count
The relevant category depends on the competition:
| Competition | Published categories relevant to this question | Is “doubles” a category? |
|---|---|---|
| NCAA Division I field lacrosse | Goals, assists and points, with totals or per-game rates depending on the leaderboard | No; neither the men’s nor women’s statistical menu lists it |
| PLL | Separate 1G and 2G columns alongside assists and points | No; the player statistics distinguish one-point and two-point goals |
| NLL box lacrosse | G for goals, A for assists and PTS for points | No; the official player-stat glossary does not define doubles |
An absent category is not a record of zero. It means there is no standard leaderboard under that name in these competitions.
If you mean PLL two-point goals
A PLL two-pointer is a goal scored on a shot from beyond the two-point arc. It adds two to the score, but it remains one successful shot. The league’s account of the 2019 Redwoods–Archers playoff game illustrates the distinction: Sergio Perkovic’s two-pointer turned an 8–7 deficit into a 9–8 lead.
For a hypothetical player who scores five two-point goals, that is five scoring events worth 10 on the scoreboard—not 10 goals and not five “doubles.” Goals and their scoring value need separate labels; our guide to how lacrosse scoring stats are counted explains the broader distinction.
A defensible season-record question would therefore be: Who scored the most PLL two-point goals in a single regular season? Any answer should specify the year, player appearances and whether playoffs are included. It should also identify the competition rather than combine field-season and Championship Series totals. An annual leader should not be called the all-time record holder without a historical comparison.
