In the battle between the unstoppable force that is Albany lacrosse's offense and the immovable object that is Maryland lacrosse's defense, Kyle Bernlohr and the Terps came out on top Wednesday night in College Park.
Albany's high-octane offense came into College Park averaging nearly 14 goals a game, good for seventh-best in the country. Maryland's defense, led by Bernlohr, the 2015 National Goalkeeper of the Year, came into the game allowing a paltry eight goals per game. That mark stands as the 12th-best in the country.
The old adage "the best defense is a good offense" held true for the Terps as they won the game's first six faceoffs and jumped out to a 4-2 lead.
