No. 2 Maryland men’s lacrosse drops 8-6 slugfest to Rutgers

Down a goal with six minutes to go, the Terps could have hardly asked for a better chance.

Maryland had caught Rutgers in transition with two Scarlet Knight attacking midfielders forced into playing defense. The Terps had 60 seconds to work a shot.

After working the ball around the perimeter of Rutgers’ area, freshman Jack Schultz forced a pass inside to Eric Spanos, but the senior’s stick was not in the right place. With time ticking off the clock, the ball rolled to the feet of Elijah Stobaugh.

The sophomore scooped it up, but the ball never nestled into his pocket, flying loose for Rutgers to pick up an easy turnover.
