The last time the No. 2 Maryland Terrapins women’s lacrosse team lost on their home turf was 79 games (seven years) ago against the Syracuse Orange. The No. 4 Orange (6-2, 1-1 ACC) came very close to breaking that streak on Saturday afternoon, but came up just short in a 12-11 double overtime loss in College Park, Md.
Both teams started off slow, but the Terrapins (6-0) did strike just a little over two minutes in when senior midfielder Jen Giles darted forward on a free position attempt and fired it past goalie Asa Goldstock to give Maryland an early 1-0 lead.
