After allowing No. 7 Notre Dame to score a goal late in the second quarter goal, No. 1 Maryland men’s lacrosse’s offense started the third quarter with a bang, scoring three goals in less than two minutes.
Senior midfielder Kyle Long kicked off the second half with a wraparound goal only thirty seconds in, and then Long found fifth-year midfielder Anthony DeMaio to make it 7-4. With 13:18 left in the third quarter, junior attacker/midfielder Jack Brennan scored a goal of his own to push the Maryland lead to 8-4.
The momentum that the Terps gained from that third-quarter run proved to be decisive, as the Fighting Irish never came back to tie the game.
