Maryland’s men’s lacrosse title defense didn’t make it out of the second weekend of May.
The fourth-seeded Terrapins tripped up Saturday night, falling, 16-15, to Army while trailing much of the way at SECU Stadium.
Jacob Morin scored the go-ahead goal with 3:36 to go and Gunnar Fellows provided insurance with 53 seconds left for the Patriot League champion Black Knights, who won an NCAA tournament game for the first time since 2010.
Maryland (10-6), which became the first undefeated team to claim a national title in 16 years last year, became the first defending champion to lose in the first round since North Carolina in 2017.
