The Lady Terps lacrosse team is taking an NCAA title back to College Park, Md., as they defeated second-ranked Northwestern University from Evanston, Ill., by a 13-11 margin in Towson, Md., which is (we think) a mere one-hour drive from the UMD campus.
The title game was played in front of 9, 872 spectators on Sunday afternoon.
Caitlyn McFadden of the Terps was named NCAA Tournament MVP. She scored two goals in the title game.
Additionally, Terps' players Sarah Mollison, Karri Ellen Johnson, and Katie Schwarzmann scored three goals to lead the team back from an early 6-0 deficit.
The year in women's lacrosse was marked by a tragedy at the University of Virginia in which a player from the Cavaliers' women's team was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend who played lacrosse for UVA's men's team.
But, both of UVA's lacrosse teams still managed to finish their respective seasons well.
Another ACC team, the UNC Tarheels almost made it to the final game against Maryland, but they fell to Northwestern in the semi-finals.
