HARRISONBURG, Va. — Maryland began its NCAA women’s lacrosse tournament Friday night with a perfect offensive start. That didn’t last for the Terrapins, but early goals and a stifling defensive effort were enough to carry them to the second round with an 11-6 victory against Drexel.
The win set up an intriguing second-round matchup between unseeded Maryland and host James Madison at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The Dukes, the No. 7 seed, defeated Army, 12-8, in the first game Friday at JMU’s Sentara Park. The Terps and Dukes met on the same field March 1, with James Madison pulling out an 8-7 victory.
