Terps Clinch Share of BIG 10 Regular Season Title Defeating OSU 10-8

The No. 5 Maryland men’s lacrosse team defeated Ohio State, 10-8, on Sunday night at Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium to clinch at least a share of its second consecutive Big Ten regular season title.

The Terps (11-2, 4-0 B1G) had seven different goal scorers, including two-goal performances by junior attackman Matt Rambo, junior attackman Colin Heacock and senior midfielder Bryan Cole. Rambo also matched his career-high with a trio of assists for a five-point effort to lead Maryland to their 10th-straight victory.

It was Rambo who found the back of the net first, kicking off a high-scoring opening frame that would give the Buckeyes a 4-3 advantage.

Ohio State (6-8, 1-3) would take a 5-3 lead to start the second quarter before the Maryland offense busted open a seven-goal run deep into the third quarter for a 10-5 advantage. The run was fueled by two goals apiece from Cole and Heacock, as well as tallies from Rambo, senior midfielder Henry West and redshirt sophomore attackman Tim Rotanz.

During the run, the Terrapin defense held the Ohio State attack scoreless for a span of 24:42. This marks the third straight contest Maryland has held their opponent scoreless for a span of 20 minutes or more.

Junior defenseman Tim Muller and senior long-stick midfielder Mike McCarney each scooped up a pair of groundballs and added two caused turnovers. Heacock leads the Terps with 30 goals on the season.

    The Terps’ offense looked pretty crisp for the first three quarters but had a pair of sloppy turnovers to open the fourth costing them some momentum.

    After the first quarter, Maryland’s defense was nothing short of spectacular.

    I’m a little bothered by Bernlohr’s slow starts the last few games. If it continues, that pattern will make for some very challenging games when the competition stiffens up beginning Saturday at JHU.

    Also, as fans, we should have perhaps more than a little concern over Bonaprte’s injury and Henningsen’s now two plus games absence from the field.

    In other notes:

    Combining conference and tournament trophies, this marks Maryland’s 14th B1G title in less than two full seasons in the conference.

    Congrats also to Maryland’s men’s golf team for a third place finish at the B1G Championship this weekend and to women’s tennis for finishing over .500 in B1G play.
