Despite a sluggish start, Maryland men’s lacrosse defeated No. 19 Rutgers 16-13 on the road Sunday night to move the Terps into a tie for the second spot in the Big Ten.
Rutgers was the aggressor for most of the first 30 minutes, amassing a five-goal lead on the Terps in the first half and taking a three-goal advantage into halftime. But Maryland put together the comeback it they needed to get back into it, outscoring Rutgers 10-3 in the second half to take the game by three scores.
Jared Bernhardt had another hat trick, making it six straight games with at least three goals for the junior, putting him just one behind the program record.
