- Manhattanville is the home to one of the greatest scorers in the history of NCAA men's lacrosse: Anthony Persico graduated as the all-time record holder among Divisions I, II and III with 256 career goals and still holds the D-III record by averaging 4.74 goals per game. Persico's 356 career points also rank third all-time in Division III and sixth among all NCAA institutions.

- Persico burst onto the national scene as a freshman, setting new NCAA single-season records with 94 goals and 131 points. His goal total still ranks third all-time in Division III while his points mark is currently sixth in Div. III history.

- At the time of his graduation from Manhattanville in 1993, Persico held eight Division III records: goals, points, goals per game and points per game in both the single-season and career categories - despite missing eight games in his sophomore season.

- It took four years, but Persico finally became the first All-American in program history during his final season, as he was named an USILA All-America Honorable Mention in 1993.

- Persico's partner in crime during much of his time at Manhattanville was Greg Cimino, who ended his career ranked fourth in Division III in goals and currently ranks 14th all-time with 194 goals and 309 points during his four-year career from 1989-92.

- Manhattanville also boasts two of the most prolific goalies in Division III history: Steve Fossati (1984-87) ranks seventh all-time with 897 saves, while Andrew Predun (2007-10) finished close behind in ninth place with 869 career stops.

- In 2023, Nick Cornelia became the third Valiant in program history to earn a Conference Player of the Year recognition, receiving the accolade from the Skyline Conference after his 80 point campaign. He joins Persico in 1990 and Andrew Murray in 2017 as the program's lone Player of the Year recipients.
