In 1989, newly hired athletic director Charlie Brown began NCAA Tournament appearances
campaigning for upgrades to UMBC Stadium, which finally came to (14) - 1974*, 1975*, 1976*, 1977*, 1978*,
fruition in 1996 with funding of $2.3 million. In 1993, UMBC 1979*, 1980*, 1998, 1999, 2006, 2007, 2008,
increased its scholarship allotment from eight to the NCAA 2009, 2019
maximum of 12.6. That year, Watts resigned as head coach and Conference Tournament championships
was replaced by Don Zimmerman, who had previously led Johns (4) - 2006, 2008, 2009, 2019
Hopkins to three national championships. Early in his tenure at Conference regular season championships
UMBC, Zimmerman and his staff had difficulty recruiting in their (9) - 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 2005, 2006,
targeted region, New York. Of Zimmerman's initial 1994 recruiting 2007, 2008, 2009
class of nine, only two players remained at UMBC for the entirety *Division II
of their collegiate career. In 1996, an increased strength of
schedule led to a 3–9 finish for the Retrievers, which included a school record 27 goals allowed against Towson
State. The UMBC staff landed some highly sought after Baltimore area recruits and transfers with the incentive
of early playing time, including two Baltimore Sun Players of the Year in 1996. In 1997, UMBC improved to a 9–3
record, but missed the tournament because of a relatively weak schedule. The Retrievers entered the 1998
season with a No. 18 preseason ranking, and upset Maryland, 12–8, to clinch an invitation to the school's first
NCAA Division I tournament as the No. 8 seed.[2] UMBC returned to the tournament the following year.[3]
Into the 2000s, UMBC continued to grow as a nationally competitive team. The Retrievers won the America East
Conference tournaments in 2006, 2008, and 2009, while being eliminated in the final in 2007. In 2007, UMBC
upset seventh-seeded Maryland, 13–9, in the first round to advance to the NCAA tournament quarterfinals
where they were eliminated by Delaware.[3] The Retrievers finished the 2009 season with a 12–4 record,
winning the America East tournament before being eliminated in the first round of the NCAA tournament by
North Carolina.
Going into the 2010s, the Retrievers struggled as the Hartford Hawks and Albany Great Danes both rose as
America East powers. During this time, the Retrievers finished with a winning record once, an 8-7 season in
2014. During this time, numerous players transferred out of the program, most notably Pat Young to Maryland[4]
in 2015. However, they did make the 2013 and 2014 America East Championship games, falling both times. In
2015, the Retrievers failed to make the conference tournament for the first time since joining the America East,
and a similar finish in 2016 resulted in longtime coach Don Zimmerman retiring at the end of the season .[5]
On June 20, 2016, UMBC hired former Loyola Greyhound assistant Ryan Moran as head coach.[6]
