Maryland women’s lacrosse NCAA tournament second round preview: No. 7 seed Duke

On Friday, Maryland women’s lacrosse did its job and breezed past High Point, 17-6. Now, the expected showdown is set for Sunday afternoon as the No. 7 seed Duke Blue Devils will host the Terps for the first matchup between the two since Maryland left the ACC in 2014.

Both Duke and Maryland made quick work of its first round opponents on Saturday, with the aforementioned victory by the Terps following up Duke’s 19-3 route of Mount St. Mary’s.

There’s certainly a deep history between the two programs, but Maryland will have its eyes set on surviving and advancing rather than playing into the rivalry.
