STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Maryland women lacrosse’s title defense has come to an end. An early blown lead and a late deficit proved too much to overcome for the Terrapins, as they fell 15-13 to Boston College, the team they defeated last year in the championship game.
Just as it happened in the Navy game, Maryland found a way to go ahead early. But the offense slowed going forward, allowing Boston College to pull ahead. After tying the score late, the Terrapins fell victim to tired and sloppy play, which allowed the Eagles to finish them off.
Sam Apuzzo was the late hero for Boston College, scoring two late goals to put the nails in Maryland’s coffin.
