The Terps have something to prove this month. No. 1 seed Maryland men’s lacrosse has made a statement all throughout the regular season and has the chance to uphold it with an equally impressive postseason.
Looking to spoil the Terps lofty playoff aspirations is an improved Michigan team that has plenty to prove as well. The Wolverines are far removed from their struggles in February and, evidently, a much stronger team than what they were against Maryland in their second regular-season bout.
“[Michigan is] improving a lot each week. And they’re a really good team. And they’re kind of peaking at this moment in time,” defenseman John Geppert said, “[Our approach is:] taking what we’ve done in previous matchups, building on that, fixing the things that we might have not done as well in the same focus and knowing that nothing is given to us.
