It was bound to happen eventually.
Everything had gone right for No. 2 Maryland men’s lacrosse through six weeks. Logan McNaney was unconscionably hot, the defense seemingly got better after losing defender Ajax Zappitello, and the new-look frontlines were working together smoothly. The Terps were the undefeated No. 1 team in the country, and talking heads were generous in their praise of a team that didn’t look like dropping off anytime soon.
But against Michigan, it all went wrong.
McNaney underperformed his season-long 66% save percentage, keeping out less than half the shots that came his way.
