At the start of the third quarter, No. 2 Maryland women’s lacrosse was put in a two woman-up scenario. However, contrary to the expected, Maryland was unable to score. In fact, it turned the ball over, and 30 seconds later, the No. 4 Syracuse Orange capitalized in what turned out to be a microcosm of Friday’s game.
The 26th meeting all-time between the Maryland Terrapins and Syracuse Orange was a mostly brutal display by the away team, as the former was defeated 20-11.
Maryland lost the opening draw control and, after a subsequent foul, quickly found itself down 1-0.
