The Terps had won the previous three meetings before Saturday’s 14-10 result in favor of Virginia.
Joey Terenzi shoots against Maryland during the first half Saturday at SECU Stadium in College Park. With the final seconds ticking off the clock in fourth-ranked Virginia’s 14-10 men’s lacrosse win against No. 5 Maryland, Cavaliers midfielder Griffin Schutz took special delight in playing keep-away from several defenders desperately attempting to dislodge the ball from the junior’s stick.
“We really tried to keep it about us, do the things that we could do well, and I think that really helped us,” said Schutz, who at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds exerted a physical toll on the Terrapins’ smaller midfielders. “Obviously the outcome’s awesome. It’s good to have the monkey off our backs now, for sure.”
The Cavaliers collected 16 turnovers and committed just eight. They also were 19 for 22 on clears and finished behind in faceoffs 16-12, with a rotating cast of specialists. Behind a 5-0 run bridging the first and second quarters, Virginia went into halftime ahead 7-5. Schutz had a hat trick in the first half, highlighted by an underhanded shot that sailed into the upper corner of the net for a 6-2 lead, the largest to that point for the Cavaliers, with 7:55 to go in the second quarter.
