Maryland men’s lacrosse lost its first game of the Big Ten slate on Sunday night, falling to No. 1 Penn State 13-10 at Maryland Stadium.
The Terps fell behind in the first, allowing Penn State to rattle off eight goals in the first 15 minutes. Maryland’s defense eventually found its footing, holding Penn State scoreless for most of the second and third quarters. Good defense led to production on offense as Maryland slowly crawled back into it, cutting the lead to as small as one at one point. But Penn State’s offense got their groove back in the fourth quarter, scoring three goals in the quarter to stave off the Terp comeback attempt.
