FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The Maryland men’s lacrosse team defeated Ohio State 9-6 to capture the 2017 Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship at Gilette Stadium Monday.
Junior Tim Rotanz scored three goals to pace the Terps offense, while senior defender Tim Muller was named the Championship’s Most Outstanding Player.
The Maryland held the Buckeye attack at bay for most of the afternoon, limiting OSU to just 25 shots while junior goalie Dan Morris made 11 saves. The Terps would score four goals in the fourth quarter to seal the three-foal victory, as the Terps captured their 12th all-time National Title and first since 1975.
Maryland took a 5-2 lead into the locker room, thanks in part to a pair of goals from junior Adam DiMillo who entered Saturday’s game with just three goals on the year.
Rotanz, Maltz and Kelly all scored as well to help the Terps build up a three-goal advantage. Maryland’s defense came up with several big stops to thwart the Buckeye attack, which included five first half saves for Morris.
In addition to Muller, Rotanz, Connor Kelly, Dylan Maltz, Dan Morris and Matt Rambo were named to the all-tournament team.
