No. 2 Maryland males’s lacrosse trailed, 11-8, to start the fourth quarter towards Michigan. The Terps appeared overwhelmed for a lot of the sport, however something might occur with a contemporary quarter-hour on the clock.
Maryland started the quarter on a optimistic word. Senior attackman Daniel Maltz fired a rocket into the again of the online, making the most of the Terps’ man-up alternative.
Nonetheless, issues took a flip for the worst within the coming minutes, as Michigan broke the seal of the Terps’ protection.
Michigan senior midfielder Jacob Jackson regained the Wolverines’ three-goal lead, after which junior attackman Michael Boehm scored on the doorstep of Maryland’s internet and picked up a cross-check penalty towards sophomore defenseman Colin Burlace, leading to a man-up alternative.
The Terps had been utterly deflated after Boehm’s purpose and couldn’t climb out of their four-goal deficit within the remaining 9 minutes of play. Michigan got here into School Park and knocked off the reigning nationwide champions, 16-11, on Saturday, giving Maryland its third lack of the season and first convention defeat since Could 2, 2019.
“Clearly [a] disappointing day, not the consequence we had been hoping for, however hats off to our opponent,” Maryland head coach John Tillman stated. “Simply didn’t really feel like we performed nice in the present day, and clearly as a frontrunner that’s one thing I bought to take accountability for. Didn’t really feel like in any space we had been nice.”
Michigan received the opening faceoff, however a precipitated turnover from senior defensemen Brett Makar gave formative years to the Terps’ offense. Maryland labored the ball across the attacking zone earlier than discovering junior attackman Daniel Kelly, who took one step up and flung the ball into the again of the online from 12 yards out.
Two of the Wolverines’ star attackmen, senior Josh Zawada and Boehm, had been concerned in Michigan’s first purpose of the sport, however the Terps rapidly regained the lead as senior midfielder Kyle Lengthy related with freshman attackman Braden Erksa for a simple rating.
The remainder of the primary quarter was dominated by the Wolverines, although. Maryland seemed overwhelmed.
Michigan scored its second purpose on the 9:49 mark, and its third on the 9:45 when junior Justin Wietfeldt received his first faceoff and instantly attacked the guts of Maryland’s protection.
The Wolverines scored three extra targets earlier than the quarter’s finish, all of which resulted from impeccable ball and participant motion.
Maryland began the second quarter rejuvenated, scoring two unassisted targets inside 25 seconds.
Zawada then tacked on an unassisted purpose of his personal, however Maryland junior defenseman Ajax Zappitello responded together with his first purpose of the season and compelled a timeout with 7:27 remaining within the quarter.
Freshman goalie Mind Ruppel scooped up a floor ball and superior it to Zappitello, who was positioned slightly below midfield. The defenseman stormed into Michigan territory and had no intention of passing up a uncommon offensive alternative.
Zappitello bounced the ball at Michigan junior goalie Shane Carr, who deflected it about 15 toes into the air. Zappitello surveyed the world, situated the ball, gathered the rebound and canned the second-chance alternative to chop Michigan’s result in two.
“That’s positively a momentum play for us,” Makar stated. “Ajax made a giant play there, and we count on these sorts of issues from him.”
Lengthy scored the ultimate purpose of the quarter, and Maryland entered halftime down one.
Michigan made some changes in the course of the intermission and started the third quarter firing on all cylinders. The Wolverines scored on all of their first three pictures and received three of the primary 4 faceoffs.
“We had been simply not, possibly, in the suitable spot or we had been only a step behind on a pair performs, they usually canned these alternatives,” Tillman stated.
Now down by 4, Erksa took it upon himself to cease the bleeding. The freshman spun previous two Michigan defenders, looped across the cage after which fired the ball into the online for his second purpose of the day.
After an thrilling begin to the quarter, neither crew scored over the subsequent 10 minutes as a result of a flurry of missed pictures and turnovers.
Boehm and Erksa tallied their third purpose of the sport earlier than the quarter got here to a detailed, as Maryland remained in a three-goal deficit heading into the ultimate quarter-hour of play.
Maltz opened up the fourth quarter together with his second purpose of the day, however the remainder of the interval was dominated by Michigan, leading to a 16-11 loss for the Terps.
Three issues to know
1. Maryland’s seniors confirmed up. It was senior day for 4 of Maryland’s 10 starters, and all of them made an influence. Maltz, Jack Brennan and Lengthy energized the offense with a mixed 4 targets and two assists, whereas Makar held it down on the defensive finish, scooping up two floor balls and inflicting three turnovers. In a sport the place management and persistence was wanted, the Terps seniors stepped up. Their contributions didn’t result in a win, nonetheless, because the Terps couldn’t sneak previous Michigan.
2. The Terps performed cleaner. Heading into Saturday’s sport, the most important weak point going through Maryland was its inefficiency. The Terps entered holding a .278 shot share and averaged 16.63 turnovers per sport, however solely dedicated 9 turnovers towards Michigan. Whereas Maryland cleaned up a few of its offensive errors, Michigan’s first and third quarter outbursts proved to be an excessive amount of for the Terps to beat.
3. Maryland dropped its first Massive Ten sport since 2019. The Terps shedding in Massive Ten play is an uncommon sight, however Michigan seemed like the higher crew on Saturday. The Wolverines’ protection smothered Maryland’s attackers and their offense got here and went, however bought the job carried out. This marks Michigan’s first Massive Ten win since 2021, placing it one step nearer to its first profitable season in two years.
“I felt like we had been combating uphill all day,” Tillman stated. “Whether or not we received this or misplaced this sport, we’ve a giant sport in Ohio subsequent week.”

Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News
![Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News](https://wtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/SAD_GIRL.GettyImages-1033774340-e1705449585875.jpg)
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in Maryland. That’s according to a new suicide prevention action plan produced through the state’s Department of Health.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in Maryland. That’s according to a new suicide prevention action plan produced through the state’s Department of Health.
Scott Poland, the director of the Office of Suicide and Violence Prevention at Nova Southeastern University College of Psychology, talked to WTOP about the action plan he authored with his wife, Donna, who is a career educator.
The “Maryland Action Plan to Prevent Suicide in K-12 Schools” serves as a reference guide to school administrators and the community, and was developed in cooperation with the state health department’s Office of Suicide Prevention.
Poland said one thing that surprises people is that children as young as 8 years old may consider taking their own lives.
“I hear from school personnel all around the country (asking if they) have to take it seriously (if a fourth or fifth grader is talking about suicide). And the answer is absolutely yes,” Poland said.
Among the data points in the action plan is a survey of students in the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey of 2021/2022.” According to that survey, 21% of high school students “seriously considered suicide” in the past year, and 27% of middle schoolers considered suicide at some point in their lives.
Poland said it’s important to talk about suicide with young people, and that the idea that talking about it might encourage a young person to consider suicide is a “myth.”
“When we actually bring it up, it gives someone a chance to unburden themselves, to realize that they’re not alone, that there are alternatives and that there is help available,” Poland said.
But he said young people are most susceptible to imitating suicidal behavior: “It is important that we not glorify the suicide victim.”
Instead, Poland said, the emphasis after a suicide should be on healing those affected and helping them find appropriate ways to deal with their emotions and mental health.
The plan released this week includes providing intervention action plans for a young person who may be considering suicide.
“Part of that, of course, is removing lethal means and developing a written safety plan with them,” he said.
Poland said that can include helping people understand “the importance of calling 988, doing things that can calm themselves down,” and reaching out to the nearest trusted adult.
People can reach the national resource for crisis response services and suicide prevention by dialing 988.
Poland said social media is “wreaking havoc” on children’s emotional well-being, often making them feel “not smart enough, not rich enough, not good enough.” Poland said he’s currently working with the state of South Dakota on developing tools to help “young people be a little more mindful and make better decisions about their screen time.”
Poland said parents can help — when it comes to the hours and hours that many people spend online — by modeling healthy amounts of screen time themselves. And he said adults need to think about how they introduce technology to their kids.
“We’re in too (much of) a hurry to give kids smartphones and 24-hour internet access,” Poland said.
“I really have to compliment Maryland,” Poland said, on coming up with the new plan.
Poland said Maryland does not have an especially high rate of suicide, but “I think we all recognize that losing one young person to suicide is one too many.”

Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland
![Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4000,h_2250,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/GettyImages/mmsport/137/01j714ppf1xrvce2agzn.jpg)
Game two is coming up for Michigan State football as the Spartans hit the road for an early season Big Ten matchup against Maryland. The Terps have had MSU’s number in recent years, but the Spartans’ new-look team is ready to change that narrative this weekend.
Jonathan Smith and his staff have a lot to work on this week after a lackluster 16-10 win over Florida Atlantic, but we’ve become more than used to slow starts for MSU in their first game so it’s not time to panic just yet.
While the team wraps up their preparations for Maryland, let’s take a quick look at the Terps and see what we can learn about them before the big game on Saturday.
Maryland is off and running in their 2024 campaign and had an absolutely dominant week one performance. The Terps took on UConn at home and came away with an impressive 50-7 win. Sure UConn is an awful football program, but we saw how poorly Michigan State just did against a similar opponent.
Not only was the final score lopsided, but ever major statistical category was as well. Maryland doubled UConn in first downs and rushing yards, threw for nearly 400 passing yards and even won the turnover battle 3-0. The Terps also only had five penalties for 45 yards which is significantly better than MSU’s 12 for 140 yards against FAU.
Sure all of this took place against UConn, but it appears that Maryland is in a very good spot heading into this big week two matchup.
One thing that I thought would be a positive for Michigan State in this game is that Maryland is breaking in a new quarterback as well. The Terps’ quarterback, Billy Edwards Jr., went off against UConn and completed 20-of-27 passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns. He also is a capable runner and added 39 yards on the ground, so Michigan State will have its hands full on Saturday slowing him down.
The Terps don’t have one standout running back in the backfield, so that does benefit MSU. They do however have two solid backs in Roman Hemby and Nolan Ray who both ran for over 60 yards and one score each.
The one player however that Michigan State needs to pay the most attention to is wide receiver Tai Felton. He had one of the best Week 1 performances in the country as he recorded seven receptions for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Thankfully MSU’s defense and secondary looked much improved against FAU, so hopefully that carries over into this weekend’s matchup.
The opportunity in front of MSU on Saturday is massive. The Spartans are big underdogs in this matchup which they probably deserve, but a win would do wonders not just for the overall perception of the team but for their confidence moving forward.
I’ve got a strange feeling that we’re going to be very happy around 7 p.m. ET Saturday night.
