Rutgers Lax: So close yet so far
A half time lead and a quick start to the second half wasn't enough for the No. 16 Knights against conference-leading Maryland.
Rutgers hadn't lost a game this season when it had a lead after two periods. That streak ended on Saturday afternoon at Byrd Stadium as Maryland (9-2, 3-0) reeled off seven straight goals en route to a 11-8 win over the Knights. It was the Terps eighth straight win.
Despite four goals by Jules Heningburg (31 on season), RU (9-3, 2-1) could not hold onto he 6-3 lead it had built three minutes into the third quarter. It was then that UMd went on its run, taking the lead for the first time with 4:47 left in the third quarter. It was a lead they would not relinquish.
