No. 10 Maryland women’s lacrosse took a step in the wrong direction to start its 2021 season against then-No. 21 Penn State, losing 15-13 on Sunday afternoon. It was the Terps’ first Big Ten regular-season loss since joining the conference.
“We could probably make 100 excuses, but at the end of the day Penn State out-executed us,” head coach Cathy Reese said.
The upset dropped the Terps to 0-1 on the year, the first time Reese has been in that position since arriving in College Park. But the experienced leader of the Terrapins is confident in her team’s ability to rebound.
