With about seven minutes to go in the third quarter, the No. 3 Maryland men’s lacrosse team had not scored a goal in about 13 minutes as Vermont was slowly starting to shorten the Terps’ lead they built on a 5-0 run in the first half.
As the Maryland defense shut down the Catamounts, it forced a Vermont turnover on a shot clock violation, giving the Terps the spark they were searching for.
As they moved the ball up the field in transition, midfielder Joshua Coffman found attacker Jared Bernhardt in front of the crease. Swarmed by defenders, Bernhardt was pushed by a Catamount, but that didn’t matter as he found the back of the net for the fifth time this afternoon extending the Terps’ lead to 9-5.
