FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Maryland men’s lacrosse earned a heart-pounding, 9-8 win over Denver on Saturday afternoon in the NCAA Tournament semifinals. The Terps will play for a national championship on Monday.

Junior midfielder Connor Kelly led the team with three goals, and netted the Terps’ most important goal of the game to break an 8-8 tie in the fourth. Goalie Dan Morris finished with eight saves, including a number of season-saving stops in crunch time.

Maryland faceoff specialist Austin Henningsen and Jon Garino went toe-to-toe against Denver’s Trevor Baptiste, the nation’s best at the X, and the Terps didn’t break.
