No. 3-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse will begin its postseason run Saturday when it hosts No. 6-seed Rutgers in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals.
The Terps had a chance to clinch a share of the Big Ten regular-season title — and a top two seed in the conference tournament — when it welcomed Penn State to College Park on April 13, but they instead let an early lead slip en route to a 12-11 defeat.
Meanwhile, after a strong showing last season, Rutgers has faltered this year in Big Ten play. Its only conference win came against Ohio State in overtime.
