No. 2-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse held top-seeded Northwestern to two goals in the first 37 minutes of the Big Ten Tournament championship game. The Terps took what looked like a commanding four-goal lead and had a chance to pull off an improbable upset victory.
But the Wildcats’ offense woke up in a massive way. After trailing 6-2, Northwestern clawed its way back into the game with five unanswered goals, taking a 7-6 lead. While Kori Edmondson tied the contest for Maryland, attacker Aditi Foster’s second goal pushed the Wildcats back in front with 15 seconds remaining.
However, the Terps had one last chance to tie the game.
