No. 6 Maryland men’s lacrosse head coach John Tillman was effusive in his praise of No. 18 Richmond Tuesday. Despite aspirations for playing on Memorial Day, the Terps did not want to trip on the first step.
They began their season with full ferocity. An offensive explosion in the second quarter helped power Maryland to a 7-0 halftime lead and a 12-7 win over Richmond Saturday at SECU Stadium.
Every time a question was asked about the long-term aspirations and goals of the team, Daniel Kelly and Colin Burlace responded by reiterating the focus on coming good in their first game of the season.
