Maryland women’s lacrosse was able to sneak past No. 2 North Carolina on Saturday, winning 13-12 in double overtime as one of the biggest rivalries in college lacrosse delivered once again.
The No. 3 Terrapins had their way with North Carolina early in the first half, but were stuck playing defense and fighting to stay alive for the majority of this match. After seeing a 9-4 halftime lead turn into a 12-11 deficit in the second half, Maryland fought back to force overtime. In the second sudden-death period, Caroline Steele found the back of the net to give Maryland its 79th straight home win.
