Fisher’s gem erased as Illinois blows game late

Andy Fisher dominated the Maryland Terrapins on Friday night — but it was not enough to beat them.

Illinois remains winless in the Big Ten (0-4) as Maryland rallied late to beat the Illini, 4-2, at Illinois Field.

“We let one get away from us,” said Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb.

A week after Illinois’ offense seemed to break against Iowa, Fisher made sure the Illini wouldn’t need much offense this time around.

The story of the night was without a doubt Fisher, showing up under the lights for the Illini and delivering arguably his best outing of the year.
