No. 13 Delaware cruised against Towson, 16-8, a surprisingly decisive victory in a CAA that’s recently been defined by close slugfests. The Blue Hens’ (9-2, 6-1 CAA) 16 goals against the Tigers (6-7, 3-4 CAA) were the most in the series against Towson since April 10, 1999.

Which makes trying to guess what the field will look like a more challenging task than usual. But that isn’t going to prevent the attempt over the next month or so, even if information like the RPI is essentially mea...

Sat Mar 13 2021 | Patrick Stevens | College PHOTO BY JOHN STROHSACKER COLLEGE PARK, Md. — For three quarters, the showdown of the remaining Big Ten unbeatens featured two teams delivering a compelling, rollicking, back-and-forth, high-level show. Then came the final 15 minutes, when just one team put on that show. 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 wanted to finish the game,” coach John Tillman said. “We knew they could score goals in bunches, ...
