Not only can you read up on Division I lacrosse, but you can read about the Division II and III games as well.

Is that great, or what?

Be the Best! Maryland's Erases Title Drought In 9-6 Win over Ohio State

Monday May 29th, 2017 3:30pm

Foxborough, Mass. — Maryland’s title drought is over.

In a rough-and-tumble 2017 Championship Game, the Terrapins beat Ohio State, 9-6, on a misty day at Gillette Stadium. The win erases a 42-year walk in the wilderness for the state of Maryland’s flagship men’s lacrosse program.

“It really hasn't sunk in,” Maryland head coach John Tillman said. “But all they've done since August, given where we were last year [losing to North Carolina in the 2016 title game] and having been in this spot and losing a heartbreaker, there was a couple different ways we could go, and we could have let last year's loss basically impact this year. And I think it speaks to the leadership of this group and their ability to kind of put things behind them and move forward to give us a chance this year.”

Maryland won national championships in 1973 and ’75, with legendary Terp Frank Urso leading those teams and scoring 32 goals in the NCAA Tournament.

Since then, the Terrapins have been a fixture of May. Maryland has appeared in 35 NCAA tournaments since, in the Final Four 20 times and 10 NCAA championship games, including this season. ... Under John Tillman, the Terps have doubled down. They’ve been in the championship six times and in the championship game five times under Tillman.

HTH! Have a nice day!
