In the matchup between No. 3 maryland women’s lacrosse and No. 15 James Madison, the Terps found themselves in a position they hadn’t been before — trailing in the fourth quarter.
Maryland was down by three goals and with about 11 minutes remaining, James Madison attacker Isabella Peterson broke through Maryland’s defense for the fifth time. Peterson extended James Madison’s lead and her bench shouted variations of “We love Bella!” as the Dukes were on the precipice of an upset.
Maryland did not give up as it scored one goal in the final quarter. But, the deficit proved too much for the Terps to overcome as they fell to the Dukes 13-8 in their first loss of the season.
