ANNAPOLIS, Md. — College lacrosse had more than its fair share of drama during quarterfinal weekend.
Richmond lost a 13-12 heartbreaker to No. 1-seed Cornell after collapsing in the final minutes. No. 3-seed Princeton and No. 6-seed Syracuse had a showdown for the ages, with the Orange prevailing 19-18. Earlier today, No. 5-seed Penn State came back from a six-goal hole to beat the defending national champions Notre Dame 14-12.
Goals flowed in the first three quarterfinal matches, but No. 2-seed Maryland played a low-scoring grinder. And that’s just how they wanted it.
“We knew we were going to play a lot of defense, but we love it,” long stick midfielder Jack McDonald said.
