Following a clutch finish from midfielder Anthony DeMaio, Maryland men’s lacrosse was granted one more chance to make it past regulation against Virginia.
10 seconds remained and the Terps were down by one as FOGO Luke Wierman was at the X trying to give the Terps one more possession. When he succeeded and rolled the ball towards Virginia’s cage, he was left with space to finish but no time to pass and used it to take a strike.
The shot was slotted right between goaltender Alex Rode’s front numbers and Virginia immediately captured the rebound. As Virginia’s defense sent the ball to the opposite end of the field, its celebration commenced and Maryland suffered its first loss since 2020.
