The Buffalo Bills of NCAA lacrosse finally have their slump buster.
Behind an at times dominate defensive performance that at one point held the Buckeyes scoreless for nearly 25 minutes, Maryland outlasted their Big Ten rivals, 9-6 to win their first college lacrosse championship since 1975. OSU’s Austin Shanks scored first early in the game but the Bucks weren’t able to get back in it until too late on the heels of a comprehensive performance by a Terps team that’d lost the two previous championship games and four in six years.
OSU put together a late run to close a five-goal deficit to two but weren’t able to ever get closer despite their best efforts.
