Attacker Brindi Griffin lined up for No. 11 Maryland women’s lacrosse’s seventeenth free position opportunity against No. 24 Rutgers with 33 seconds left in the game.
The fifth year senior was given another opportunity after she was fouled on her first attempt — the team’s sixteenth. After the Terps converted on seven such goals on the day, a huge opportunity to cut the deficit to one goal was high and wide, leading to Rutgers winding down the clock.
It was a game of runs for the Terps, as Maryland had scored five goals to start the second half after scoring just four times in the first.
