In the 115th installment of ‘The Rivalry’, Maryland thrashed Johns Hopkins 12-5 to win the Big Ten regular season outright.
Maryland didn’t control its own destiny, however, as Ohio State’s tiebreaker over the Terps prompted a need for Rutgers to upset the Buckeyes. Thanks to an overtime clincher by the Scarlet Knights, the Terps’ win over Hopkins gave them a 4-1 conference record, sole possession of the top spot in the conference and the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.
They’ll take on No. 8 Penn State, who’s coming off a win over Michigan and enters the postseason with just two losses on the season.
