PHILADELPHIA — After an unlikely run to the national championship game, No. 7-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse was dominated by No. 1-seed Notre Dame, 15-5, on Monday.
For all of 2024, Notre Dame looked nearly flawless. Without a clear weakness, the Fighting Irish rolled into the championship game with a 15-1 record.
The Terps, who had rebounded from a terrible end to their regular season, made a run as the tournament’s seventh seed, hoping to get one more win and slay the seemingly unbeatable dragon.
But sometimes things play out just the way they should on paper, and Monday’s game was a prime example.
