Back on February 24, the almost-unthinkable happened: Maryland women’s lacrosse lost a game. In Chapel Hill against a top-10 North Carolina team, the defending national champions fell in overtime, 16-15.
It was the Terps’ first loss since the 2016 national championship game, in which they also fell to the Tar Heels. And although titles aren’t won or lost in February, a defeat in just the third game could’ve easily knocked the season off course.
But Maryland did what Maryland does, and the Terps have won 10 straight since that afternoon. And they’ve done it in dominating fashion, winning by an average of 7.
