While I would not put an asterisk it does look like a goal. I was at the game but you could not tell at the moment from stands. The referee didn’t want to call anything last night. Think they forgot their flags. They also missed a slash to Spanos back that took him down to his hands right in front of the referee

And the amount of transition / unsettled goals are something we can’t generate. Or we choose not to.

Even against Rutgers - I think we scored 10 goals 6 on 6. That’s alot, but we only had 11 goals total. I would be surprised if Duke or UVA had that many. They just score so effortlessly between the lines. Seems tough to win deep into May without the easy goals from transition.

Yes it's pretty obvious that Maryland's offense is well below UVA's, Duke's and ND's. Probably a few others too. The tournament does tighten things up (see Kentucky basketball). Terps will be an underdog against the top 4 or so teams, but I doubt they want to play a Tillman-coached team in May either.

3 game win streak in hand, time to live up to our name.
THE Maryland Terrapins, a storied program.
Let's come back from Homewood, B1G trophy in hand.

Relying on our seniors is our key to Saturday's victory.
A win will mean strong performances from Zap, Wierman, and McNaney.
We need 10 goals at a minimum, any less and we're done.
Hoping for a repeat performance of 2022, winning by far more than 1.

In Baltimore, I will be present, loudly and proudly wearing red,
Screaming for my Terps at the top of my head.
Hoping to hear lots of "...and Erksa scores!"
'Be The Best' will prevail over 'We Want More'!
