The whistle blew with 12:28 remaining in Maryland women’s lacrosse’s intense road matchup with Northwestern on Thursday night. Both teams were ranked top-five in the country and battling for first place in the Big Ten, and the game had already been through plenty of twists and turns en route to its 12-12 score.
With rain pouring down at Martin Stadium and lightning in the area, officials stopped the game and the No. 2 Terps and No. 5 Wildcats entered a weather delay. Five to 10 minutes later, Northwestern officials opted to move the game inside to Ryan Fieldhouse.
