Maryland men’s lacrosse lost its first game of the new season on Sunday, falling to No. 17 Notre Dame 14-13 in an overtime heartbreaker.
The No. 2 Terps jumped out to an early lead, but Notre Dame closed the first half on a 6-1 run to take a 7-5 advantage into the break. Although the Irish pulled ahead by as many as four goals in the second half, Maryland made a charge at the end, scoring the tying goal with 16 seconds left to force overtime. In sudden death, though, it was Notre Dame’s Brian Willetts who buried the game-winner.
