Maryland's women's lacrosse team hadn't trailed by four goals all season, so the Terps' shoulders seemed to slump a little when Stony Brook took that big of a lead midway through the second half of Saturday's NCAA quarterfinal.
Coach Cathy Reese called a timeout to energize her top-seeded team. The Terps responded with two goals in the next 41 seconds to spark a 6-1 finishing run that gave Maryland a 13-12 victory and their ninth straight trip to the final four.
"Cathy's message in timeouts is pretty consistent in that she just kind of challenges us to be better, to be our best, to be the best version of ourselves and to be confident that we can do it," Terps senior co-captain Zoe Stukenberg said.
