With under five minutes remaining in the third quarter, No. 2 Maryland men’s lacrosse held a comfortable 10-1 lead over No. 20 Richmond. As the Spiders moved the ball around the offensive zone, Maryland closed every possible scoring avenue, forcing Richmond into taking another difficult shot.
Graduate long-stick midfielder John Geppert then stripped Richmond midfielder Henry Alpaugh and sprinted down the field. After crossing the 30-yard line, Geppert dumped the ball off to junior attackman Owen Murphy, who instantly flung it at the net.
The shot blew past Richmond goalie Zach Vigue and into the net for Murphy’s fourth and final goal of the game.
