In a year where there’s no dominant force in men’s college lacrosse, even the top teams have flaws and can be beat. For the past few weeks, Maryland has been one of those teams.
Since the start of Big Ten play, the Terps have grinded their way to three wins in the toughest conference in the country without looking dominant in any of them. They put together excellent spurts, not a full 60 minutes.
Against Ohio State, those inconsistencies came back to bite them. The Buckeyes came in to Maryland Stadium looking for a win to keep their season alive, and exposed the holes Maryland has shown in Big Ten play to come away with a 12-10 win.
