Two straight goals from Penn State’s sophomore midfielder Mark Sickler and freshman attacker Will Peden cut No. 1 Maryland men’s lacrosse’s lead to 5-3 halfway through the second quarter.
With the Nittany Lions beginning to gather some momentum, graduate attacker Keegan Khan fired a shot while falling down, finding the back of the net for his second goal of the game. Just six seconds later, junior faceoff specialist Luke Wierman scored, and the onslaught continued for the Terps.
Four more unanswered goals, featuring two from Khan, one from senior midfielder Kyle Long and another from fifth-year midfielder Bubba Fairman, made the score 11-3 before the halftime break.
