Virginia erases five-goal deficit, defeats Maryland in overtime

Virginia will long remember erasing a five-goal deficit in the last 10 minutes of Saturday’s NCAA tournament quarterfinal against Maryland.

The Terrapins won’t soon forgot precisely how the Cavaliers forced overtime in what became a 13-12 Virginia victory.

Michael Kraus tied it with 1:14 to go on a shot that hit the bottom of the crossbar and caromed close to midfield to cap a frantic comeback after the third-seeded Cavaliers (15-3) trailed 12-7 early in the fourth quarter and 12-8 with less than four minutes to play.

“It happened so fast,” Maryland coach John Tillman said.
