Behind a strong second quarter, No. 3 Maryland men’s lacrosse defeats No. 5 Rutgers, 13-9

After a wild shot from Rutgers’ Connor Kirst, goalie Logan McNaney began the clear and the Terps took off running in transition. Following a pass from attacker Jared Bernhardt, defender John Geppert wasted no time to thrust a deep shot past Rutgers’ goaltender.

The Terps continued to take advantage of the mistakes made by the Scarlet Knights and ran off with an eventual four-goal lead to win the match 13-9. But it wasn’t without some characteristic road struggles from Maryland.

The drive to win was notably palpable Sunday afternoon as Rutgers challenged the Terps amidst the slippery conditions in Piscataway, New Jersey.
