In a day filled with intense matchups, both the Syracuse Orange women's and men's lacrosse teams faced off against the Maryland Terrapins in closely contested games that extended into overtime. The women's game concluded with Maryland securing a victory in the second overtime with a final score of 9-8, thanks to Hannah Leubecker's winning goal. Olivia Adamson and Emma Ward were notable for their contributions, with Ward assisting Adamson's goal in the fourth period. Despite leading at various points during the match, Syracuse couldn't maintain their advantage, with both teams trading goals throughout. Emily Sterling's save against Emma Ward's shot in overtime was crucial for Maryland. The men's game also showcased a tight competition, ending in a 12-12 tie at the end of regulation, pushing the game into overtime. Key moments included Luke Rhoa's hat trick and Michael Leo's significant contributions, including a hat trick, which kept Syracuse competitive. However, the day ended unfavorably for Syracuse fans, as the university also faced a loss in men's basketball against GT, marking a challenging day for Syracuse sports. The games were evenly matched with shots on goal (Mary 19-17), draw controls (SU 12-9), groundballs (17-17), and turnovers (Mary 14-12).
Big 3Q for Maryland as the take a 53-40 lead into the final quarter. Brown-Turner with a game-high 19 as the Terps finally started putting the ball in the basket. 7 for 15 from the field that quarter.
Brown-Turner taking over the scoring for Maryland. She's scored 6 straight and 9 during this 11-0 run that has the Terps up 41-36 with 4:12 left in 3Q.
Terps 1 for 7 in the 2Q. Just 3 points with 3:30 to go before halftime.

For the 2nd time today, Syracuse and Maryland are going to overtime at the Dome. Terps and Orange tied at 12. Hold on your hats. https://t.co/oCA5JFhzxP
End of regulation for Syracuse-Maryland. Tied 12-all. Orange and Terps are heading to overtime at the Dome. (The universe knew I missed a couple lacrosse games at the start of the season and is giving me more today to make up for it.)
All tied up again. 12-all for Syracuse and Maryland. Christian Mulé scored with an assist from Owen Hiltz. 1:05 in regulation.
Maryland 12, Syracuse 11. 2:32 to go. Get to ESPNU or follow along here. What a game this has been at the Dome. https://t.co/fFilrTdtGr
Maryland takes a lead. Attacker came from around the back side of the goal and snuck it past Mark. Syracuse, 11 Maryland, 12 4P | 3:55
And 11 seconds later Maryland nets another. 11-10, Orange. Lot of clock left. One of these teams needs to string a few together back-to-back unanswered otherwise it might come down to whoever has last possession. https://t.co/xlWfpvkiBd
Rhoa having an absolute day. Scores 12 seconds after Leo following a face off win by Mason Kohn. And as @BrentAxeMedia just pointed out, only 3 of SU's goals have had assists. A lot of just driving in alone and taking the shots given. Syracuse, 11 Maryland, 9
And now Michael Leo has his own hat trick to give SU the edge again. Syracuse, 10 Maryland, 9 4P | 10:47
Luke Rhoa with a hat trick for the Orange. Birtwistle had taken a laser or a shot just seconds before and hit pipe. Things staying hot at the Dome. Been a good day of lacrosse. Syracuse, 9 Maryland, 8 4P | 12:44
Jackson Birtwistle dropped the goal in at the top right corner of the net off a pass from Spallina for his first goal of the evening. Gives SU a lead again, as the Terps had tied things back up a few minutes ago. Syracuse, 8 Maryland, 7 3P | 1:29
The Orange takes its first lead since the game's opening minutes on a goal by Sam English. Kept driving toward the net and then just dumped one in. Syracuse, 7 Maryland, 6 3P | 5:00
Been a quiet night by Spallina's standard, but he nets one to tie the game up. No assist. Syracuse, 6 Maryland, 6 3P | 7:46
SU keeps it from being a run with a goal by Luke Rhoa, unassisted. 6-5, Terps. https://t.co/Ko6aokZk9F
Maryland breaks its own scoring drought with a goal near the top of the third period. Had not scored since the first period. Syracuse, 4 Maryland, 6 3P | 12:32
Been a grinder here at the Dome so far but an entertaining one. Maryland leads Syracuse 5-4. Stay updated here https://t.co/fFilrTdtGr
Syracuse ties the game on Kyle Cuffe's fastbreak bucket (ruled a goaltend). Preceeded by sweet Copeland pocket pass to Maliq Brown. 52-all
Halftime for the Orange men and Maryland. Syracuse, 4 Maryland, 5 Leo netted another goal shortly after his first to narrow the gap for SU entering the locker room. Defense held the Terps scoreless in the period. Will Mark had a particularly nice save towards the end there.
Michael Leo breaks a 20ish minute scoring drought for the Orange and nets the first goal by either team in the second period. SU has had some opportunities it hasn't been able to capitalize on. Maryland playing physical. Syracuse, 3 Maryland, 5 2P | 3:00
.@TerpsMLax leads @CuseMLAX 5-2 after one period. A lot of mental errors, forced shots and too many penalties for the Orange that period. https://t.co/fFilrTdtGr
End of first period for Syracuse-Maryland. Terps took control in the back half of the period and scored four unanswered. Syracuse, 2 Maryland, 5
A 3-goal run has given the Terrapins their first lead of the game. SU won the face off following the most recent score and is looking to stall the Terps' progress. Syracuse, 2 Maryland, 4 1P | 5:45
Mason Kohn wins the face off and takes it all the way himself, bouncing one in to put the Orange back on top. What a stark difference in SU's face off play from last year. Actually competitive against other ranked teams. Syracuse, 2 Maryland, 1 1P | 8:26
Goal/call stands. Syracuse-Maryland tied at 1 with just under 9 minutes to go in the first period. https://t.co/TyVSwRb6yV
Syracuse is challenging a Maryland goal that tied things up. Gait talked with the ref before throwing the flag. SU's Billy Dwan also called for an illegal body check on the play.
Syracuse on the board first against Maryland a few minutes into play. Luke Rhoa strikes from the right side on an assist from Joey Spallina. Syracuse, 1 Maryland, 0 1P | 11:57
.@CuseWLAX drops a tough one to @MarylandWLax 9-8 in double OT. Shots on goal (Mary 19-17), draw controls (SU 12-9), groundballs (17-17) and turnovers (Mary 14-12) were all even, but SU is going to kick itself when it watches the film. Especially a late shot clock violation.
Gamer on Syracuse women’s lacrosse’s 9-8 double OT loss to Maryland this afternoon. Good play by both defenses and some missed opportunities by SU’s offense late gave the Terps the edge in the end. https://t.co/xAQoWzSzuo
Maryland wins in second overtime. Hannah Leubecker scored the winning goal, sneaking one in the left side of the goal past Delaney Sweitzer. Syracuse, 8 Maryland, 9
No goals in first overtime period for Syracuse and Maryland. Still tied at 8. Another 3-minutes of sudden-death OT incoming. No coaching break for teams but they do switch sides.
No goal for SU on its first possession of OT. Emma Ward took a shot, but Maryland's Emily Sterling made the save. Terps have taken a timeout before their possession. https://t.co/uU8WlpG2Co
