When Maryland men’s lacrosse took the field at noon last Saturday against Yale, nobody anticipated the game lasting four and a half hours, nearly two of which were filled by weather delays.
“One of the stranger games I’ve ever been a part of,” head coach John Tillman said after the Terps’ narrow 12-11 victory. “We knew the weather could be a factor, it was one of the few times the weather guys were right.”
Maryland made it out alive to start the season 4-0, but it could have easily been the team’s first loss.
Down 11-5 well into the third quarter, the Bulldogs mounted a resilient 6-1 scoring run to make it a one-goal game.
