Maryland women’s lacrosse reaches semis but misses title game again
Summary

The Maryland women's lacrosse team advanced to the semifinals of the 2026 season after a strong start. Despite being the only undefeated team in the nation early on, the Terps struggled with inconsistencies, in crucial moments during matches. Their defense was solid, allowing just 10.1 goals per game, but late-game collapses led to losses against Northwestern and Michigan. Coach Cathy Reese highlighted the importance of team chemistry while reflecting on the highs and lows of the season. Looking ahead, the team aims to build from this experience for future seasons.
