No. 3 Maryland Runs Past Robert Morris, 13-4
Colin Heacock tallies second straight hat trick
Sophomore Colin Heacock posted a career-high four points and nine different players scored as the No. 3 Maryland men's lacrosse team defeated Robert Morris, 13-4, Tuesday evening.
The top-ranked defense in the nation had an excellent first half, holding Robert Morris scoreless on just seven shots attempted. Maryland took advantage offensively, scoring nine first half goals and never looking back.
Heacock opened the scoring by picking up a loose ball in front of the cage and finishing a point blank shot to give Maryland the 1-0 lead. Henry West then scored a pair of goals from the wing, as the Terps took a 3-0 lead into the second quarter.
The Terps continued to display their offensive prowess in the second quarter, posting six goals to open a 9-0 advantage. Gribbin scored a pair of goals in the frame to lead the way, while Jay Carlson, Matt Rambo, Dylan Maltz and Heacock also found the back of the net.
The nation's leader in save percentage, Maryland goalkeeper Kyle Bernlohr, made five saves in the first half, before relinquishing goalkeeping duties to teammate Dan Morris.
Heacock captured his second hat trick in as many games early in the third quarter, but it was Robert Morris who finally snapped a 39:50 scoreless drought with three straight goals to end the frame.
Zack Wholley ended the Colonials' scoring streak with his first goal of the season on a nice dodge from the wing, before Christian Zawadzki added a tally of his own. Ben Chisolm also tallied a goal to close the Maryland scoring.
The Terrapins return to College Park this weekend as they welcome Michigan for the first Big Ten conference game in Maryland men's lacrosse history. The game will air live on Big Ten Network at 5 p.m. Sunday.
