WHAT. A GAME.
The Michigan Wolverines (5-4, 1-0) outlasted the No. 1 Maryland Terrapins (7-1, 0-1) in a triple-overtime classic, 11-10, Saturday afternoon in College Park.
Nick Roode was the hero at the end of the third sudden-death frame with his crease finish on a pass from Emmett Houlihan. Houlihan took an inverted doge from behind the cage and hit a slipping Roode for the winner.
This is a game the Wolverines had to have.
Losers of two straight and starting conference play on the road against the No. 1 team in the nation is usually a recipe for disaster.
