In a rematch of last season’s NCAA Championship game, the Virginia Cavaliers faced off against the #1 Maryland Terrapins in the NCAA quarterfinals today in what many were calling this year’s de facto National Championship. While the 2021 matchup was a one goal affair won by the Wahoos, the undefeated Maryland squad flipped the script, winning 18-9.
Virginia appeared to be in the game early as Griffin Schutz put the ‘Hoos up 1-0 at the 11:12 mark in the first. But, Maryland closed the first period off with a four goal run as the Terps capitalized off of a number of UVA mistakes in the subbing game while the Virginia offense struggled to win one-on-one matchups on the other side of the field.
