Maryland vs Hopkins is big no matter what year it has been played. But this year is a little different. In the past 2 years Hopkins came into the Maryland game desperately needing a win.

I read today that teams that lose multi overtime games usually lose the next game they play. I was hoping that was a quirky statistical fact. It wasn’t. the Terps took a 2-1 lead into the 2nd quarter, held possession of the ball for 6 minutes or so and missed shot after shot. Navy scored twice in the closing minutes of the half to take a 3-2 lead and never looked back.Navy’s goalie Tommy Phelan had 17 saves always seeming … Read More »

Yeatman , and Travis Reed each scored twice giving the Terps a 9-6 lead with 6 minutes left. But then lightning struck as UVA scored 3 times in 1 minute to tie the game and also have a 2 man advantage for a … Read More »

In a tightly contested battle , Maryland was up on the Hoyas 7-6. I turned to the gentleman from Lacrosse magazine and said the next goal would dictate the game. The Terps had the ball-threw it away and the Hoyas started a 6 goal run, the first team to separate in a close game usually wins. Bryn Holmes controlled the draws 12-5 but it wasn’t enough as the Hoyas stifled Maryland’s vaunted attack and coasted to a 3 goal victory. … Read More »
