No. 2 Maryland men’s lacrosse was leading No. 9 Penn State by three halfway through the fourth frame.
It needed to find a way to close out the match, and junior midfielder Jack Koras did just that, rifling home his third goal of the game and allowing the whole squad to exhale. It was his fifth hat trick of the season. The score demoralized the Nittany Lions, who were unable to climb back into the game. The Terps opened Big Ten play with an entertaining 13-10 victory.
“I think it starts with practice and the scout guys giving us a great look,” Koras said of his recent success.
