The Terps never trailed in the contest.
The Rutgers men’s lacrosse team fell to Maryland 11-8 last night. It was Senior Night for the Scarlet Knights (8-4, 1-3), and the team honored 21 players in front of a program record of 5,823 fans prior to the faceoff versus the Terrapins (8-3, 3-1).
The Rutgers men’s lacrosse team snapped its two-game losing streak on Friday night with a 13-12 overtime victory against Michigan. The game went to sudden death overtime after being tied at 12-12. In overtime, the Scarlet Knights (8-3, 1-2) pulled out the victory over the Wolverines (5-5, 1-2).
The Rutgers men’s lacrosse team had its five-game win streak snapped on Sunday in an 11-7 loss against Ohio State. The contest marked the first game of Big Ten play for the Scarlet Knights (7-2, 0-1) and the Buckeyes (5-4, 1-0).
There's not a whole lot to be said about this season other than disappointing. The year started off with a slate of injuries, personnel issues have kept the Buckeyes from being at their best, and the coaching remains as underwhelming as ever. Feels like it has been every year since 2017, with the exception of 2020. Looking to this game, Rutgers is a program clearly in its prime under Coach Brian Brecht, as they're in the top 10 yet again. I will say, however, that this year's out of conference slate has been a bit dicey in terms of quality.
