The attacker, notorious for making the difficult look easy, scored his fifth goal unassisted from the right side of the post. Firmly backing down his opponent with his lean six-foot frame, Be...

(Photo Courtesy of Maryland Athletics) It started as an Instant Classic, a back-and-forth, high-tempo matchup between Top 5 teams — one the established, perennial contender Maryland, the other a Rutgers team that’s played the early season with shocking power and dominance. It ended with No. 3 Maryland flexing its dazzling level of consistency and dominating the fourth quarter en route to a 19-12 win against No. 4 Rutgers inside Maryland Stadium.

That was Maryland, which rattled off goals on its first eight possessions of the fourth quarter to suddenly turn a riveting one-goal game into a 19-12 rout of Rutgers. “We just w...

Of course, this class enters college lacrosse amid unforeseen circumstances, namely four years of players ahead of them that have the option to use an extra year of NCAA eligibility.  The class rankings below represent the definitive snapshot of the incoming ...

Reppert, the Terps enter the 2021 season having returned all their starters on a team that got off to a 5-1 start and produced a Top-10 scoring offense.  Following an abbreviated fall, the Terps have had plenty of time to adjust to new practice protocols and prep to “Be The Best” in a season where c...
