The top-seeded Terps are now 0-9 in title games since 1975.
Maryland men's lacrosse tried to exorcise its national championship demons on Memorial Day against North Carolina, but once again, the Terps didn't have any luck. For a while in the fourth quarter, the Terps looked like they would leave Lincoln Financial Field with a national championship - something they hadn't done since 1975. When the Tar Heels came back to force overtime and scored to win it, the Terrapins had to watch another team celebrate for the second straight season.
The nerves were there; the tense atmosphere that characterized decades of disappointment.
