For the eighth time under head coach John Tillman, No. 7-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse will spend its Memorial Day fighting for a national championship.
However, the team that stands in its way — the No. 1-seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish — has been college lacrosse’s apex predator all year long. The Terps are underdogs yet again, and will now look to complete their national title run.
“It’s pretty clear we’re the underdog,” Tillman said. “... We know the spot we’re in, we get it. The only thing we can do is control what we do. I know they’re really good, but I have great faith in our guys.
