FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Seconds after scoring his second goal of the game, Duke senior attackman Justin Guterding pointed to graduate student Peter Conley and banged his chest. That goal gave the Blue Devils a 12-7 lead and put the nail in the coffin in Maryland men’s lacrosse’s season, which ended Saturday with a 13-8 loss to Duke in the Final Four.
It was the last score in a four-goal run for the Blue Devils, who had dominated the early and late stages of the game. In Maryland’s most important game of the season, the Terps were thoroughly outplayed in the moments that mattered most.
