In 2004, including an upset against the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the Great Danes would go on to win another America East Championship.

The surge would continue into 2005 as the Great Danes defeated Stony Brook 16–7 to win their third straight America East Championship.

However, the first round NCAA Tournament jinx would continue as the Great Danes were demolished by the University of Virginia 23–9.

Defender Liam Gleason was also signed by the New Jersey Pride shortly after the 2007 Major League Lacrosse draft.

Star goaltender Brett Queener was selected 48th Overall by the Rochester Rattlers making him the 5th UAlbany graduate to play professionally in Major League Lacrosse.

Lyle became the eighth men's lacrosse player in NCAA history to record 100 points in a season.

On May 3, 2014, the Great Danes would win their second straight America East Championship, defeating UMBC 20–11.

The Great Danes, with strong defensive play, defeated the Greyhounds 13–6 for the second NCAA Tournament victory in school history.

In the game Miles would also pass Marahol's numbers to become second on that list after scoring five goals and two assists.

Two days later, Miles and Ty were officially put on the active roster of the MLL Rochester Rattlers.

He finished with an NCAA Division I best 121 points, the second-highest single season tally in DI history, and 69 assists, adding 52 goals.

Sophomore Faceoff Specialist TD Ierlan became a star, becoming one of the elite face-off men in the country.

Sophomore Jakob Patterson and Senior Kyle McClancy stepped up on offense, while goalie JD Colarusso was a force in net.

The Great Danes would run through the America East Tournament as the #1 seed and host to take home the title on May 5 in a 14–4 win over Vermont.

Despite a close game early on, UAlbany would win 18–9 to advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals to face the Denver Pioneers at Hofstra.

However, much hype was focused on the battle of the top two faceoff-men in the country, UAlbany's TD Ierlan and Denver's Trevor Baptiste.

The game was tight to the end, with the Great Danes holding a four-goal lead with under five minutes to play.

Despite a furious comeback, UAlbany held on 15–13 to advance to the Final Four for the first time in school history after going 0–4 in their previous trips to the Quarterfinals.
