No. 7 Maryland women’s lacrosse is experiencing its first lull in head coach Cathy Reese’s 18-year tenure.
The Terps historically boost one of the nation’s best programs, leading the NCAA with 14 national championships. Reese has guided Maryland to five titles and 12 NCAA semifinal berths.
But the past two seasons have been nothing short of disappointing. The Terps have combined for 13 losses and recorded consecutive early exits from the tournament. To put that in perspective, Maryland tallied just 15 losses from 2009-2019.
Despite picking up five regular season losses, it earned the No. 4 seed in last year’s tournament.
