Maryland men’s lacrosse rose to No. 3 in the country following an impressive 13-8 victory over No. 6 Ohio State on Saturday, a move which positions them incredibly well for the NCAA Tournament.
Before then, Maryland has to get through conference play — where the Terps also place third, but in a three-way tie with Penn State and Rutgers.
Parity in the Big Ten will make for a fascinating finish to the regular season. With the exception of Johns Hopkins, which has undergone an injury-ridden, disappointing stretch, every team enters the final week with conference tournament implications on the line.
