Maryland wins ugly over Hopkins, enters Big Ten tourney as top seed

Even on an off day, the Maryland men's lacrosse team persevered.

Despite losing 17-of-22 faceoffs and picking up 10 fewer ground balls than No. 8 Johns Hopkins, the No. 3 Terps proved their resiliency in outlasting their Big Ten rivals, 11-8, before an announced 5,688 at Homewood Field in Baltimore on Saturday afternoon.

Maryland relied on the formula of a stout defense and a lengthy run of goals to improve to 12-2 overall and 5-0 in the conference, and extend its winning streak to 11. The program collected its first regular-season championship since 2014, when it was a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
