No. 6-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse thought it had hung onto victory in the second round of the NCAA Tournament against Penn, until it didn’t. It was deja vu all over again in College Park.
With five seconds left in regulation, the Terps had possession and could drain the clock out. Instead, they committed a costly turnover on a misplaced pass, and Penn made it pay. Attacker Erika Chung scored with just two seconds left to force overtime.
A winner was decided in a second extra period. Chung fed the ball back across her body to attacker Catherine Berkery, who wrapped around the cage and from the tightest of angles fired the ball into the far corner past JJ Suriano.
