HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Maryland men’s lacrosse saw its season end in heartbreak on Saturday afternoon, collapsing down the stretch to fall to No. 3-seed Virginia 13-12 in overtime in the NCAA quarterfinals.
Maryland controlled the first half, but Virginia kept it close and trailed by just one at halftime and tied it twice in the third quarter. The Terps responded, scoring five straight goals to open up a commanding lead. Then Virginia stormed back to level the score with 1:14 remaining, the tying goal a controversial shot off the crossbar. The Cavaliers dominated faceoffs down the stretch, won the draw in overtime and quickly scored the winner.
