The fourth quarter, a white-knuckle adventure in Maryland's two previous games, broke the right way for the No. 6 seed Terps in Saturday’s 8-7 win against Yale in their NCAA Division I tournament first-round game.
Trailing 7-4 just 44 seconds into the final period at Byrd Stadium, Maryland got a goal from four players to complete its comeback. The rally was a dramatic departure from the Terps’ past two games, in which when they surrendered late one-goal leads before losing to Johns Hopkins on April 25 and Ohio State on April 30.
The irony was not lost on coach John Tillman.
