No. 9 Maryland women’s lacrosse (0-1) could not imagine a worse start to its 2025 campaign. While it is still figuring out rotations and what role its 13 new pieces will play, it never looked competitive at home against then-No. 6 Syracuse, falling 15-9.
The Terps trailed by just two goals after the first quarter, but it all went downhill from there. Heading into the fourth quarter, Maryland found itself in a seven-goal deficit with the game well out of reach.
To make matters worse, neither goalie head coach Cathy Reese inserted into the game found much success.
