Maryland men's lacrosse was set to open its season with a high-profile match against backyard rival Navy, but after inclement weather postponed the game, the Terps had to settle for opening the season a week later against High Point. Head coach John Tillman said that keeping his players focused despite the delay was like trying to contain "a bunch of caged animals."
When the game-ready Terps took the field against High Point, it's possible they let that pent up anticipation behind the scenes deter them from what was happening on the field.
Maryland's offense looked stagnant, while their traditionally suffocating defense let up two early goals.
