No. 1 Maryland knocks UVM men’s lacrosse out of NCAA Tournament in the First Round
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WCAX) – For the second consecutive season the College of Vermont males’s lacrosse workforce reached the Spherical of 16 within the NCAA Event, staring down one of many sports activities’ most storied packages for a second straight yr. No. 1 ranked Maryland proved once more why they’re the very best workforce within the nation because the Terrapins toppled UVM 21-5 to stay good on the season.
UVM was capable of cling with Maryland for the primary quarter-hour because the Catamounts have been down simply two targets after the primary quarter. However the Terrapins pulled away within the second off a 9-1 run in that body. Ryan Cornell had a stable day between the pipes with 12 saves, however Maryland’s Luke Wierman was dominant on the faceoff X and the Cats simply couldn’t sustain with the high-powered Maryland offense.
“You realize, simply to have this chance to play on this NCAA Event with these guys is such a privilege,” Cornell mentioned following the Cats loss. “So pleased with each man on this workforce and there’s a whole lot of emotion proper now, however I’m simply actually proud.”
Head coach Chris Fiefs doesn’t need his workforce to neglect what it achieved this season, similar to matching the varsity report for wins in a season, successful this system’s second consecutive America East common season and match titles, and claiming its first ever NCAA Event win with a victory over Manhattan.
“To get again so far and win a play-in sport that we didn’t must win final yr, I give them a whole lot of credit score,” Fiefs mentioned. “I give a whole lot of credit score to our seniors and our grad college students who got here again for one more yr, and I’m simply actually proud to be their coach. I don’t know if I’ve ever been this pleased with a bunch.”
The Catamounts completed good in convention play and shut out the season with a 12-7 general report.

Victory over Maryland caps a successful sweep on USC’s first big East Coast trip in the Big Ten
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — JuJu Watkins and Southern California figured to do a lot of traveling in the Trojans’ first season in the Big Ten.
So far, so good.
No. 4 USC completed a two-game eastern sweep Wednesday night, handing No. 8 Maryland its first loss, 79-74. The victory came after the Trojans decimated Rutgers 92-42 on Sunday.
“We’ve been on the East Coast now for like four days,” Watkins said. “It’s freezing.”
Perhaps that explained Watkins’ spotty shooting. She went 7 for 19 from the field and turned the ball over eight times, eventually fouling out in the final minute. She scored 21 points, her lowest output in nearly a month.
But USC outscored Maryland 18-6 to end the game. Kiki Iriafen also scored 21.
“We just kind of have this unwavering confidence in ourselves,” Watkins said. “It was just a matter of coming together and closing the game out.”
The Trojans have already logged quite a few miles. They beat Mississippi in Paris in November. Last month they traveled to Connecticut and beat UConn.
This trip was a multigame journey that USC handled pretty well. Coach Lindsay Gottlieb said she’s still learning the rhythm of a new league.

“The Pac-12 was two games in a weekend, Friday-Sunday and everyone’s doing the same thing. Now we’re like, ‘Wait, who’s playing who when?’” she said. “It’s really different for us, and so as coaches we’re trying to process all that and keep things as normalized for the team as possible.”
It’s also an opportunity for USC to play in areas less familiar with the Trojans. It was their first matchup with Maryland since 1995, and the game drew 14,735.
“It’s just platforms for them that we have never had before, and that’s a really positive thing. It’s up to us and my administration and me to make it as seamless as possible for them,” Gottlieb said. “We’ll go anywhere and play. I think our players have proven that.”
