The beginning of the second half proved what No. 1 Maryland men’s lacrosse’s opponents this season have learned the hard way; when junior faceoff specialist Luke Wierman is winning faceoffs, the Terps are almost unstoppable on offense.
Nine seconds into the third quarter against Michigan, Wierman passed the ball to senior long stick midfielder John Geppert, who ripped a shot past Michigan sophomore goalie Shane Carr. Wierman promptly won the subsequent faceoff, passed it to sophomore attacker Eric Malever who then found Geppert for his second goal in the span of 14 seconds.
Goals from fifth-year attacker Logan Wisnauskas and graduate attacker Keegan Khan a few minutes later pushed Maryland’s lead to eight just four minutes into the second half.
