Maryland men’s lacrosse prepares to face Virginia in Final Four

Late last week, the Maryland men’s lacrosse team was traveling to Long Island for the NCAA tournament quarterfinals when one of the charter buses carrying players stalled after barely making it across the George Washington Bridge into New York.

It was around 2 p.m., and traffic was mounting. Practice had been scheduled for midday, when the seventh-seeded Terrapins were due to arrive at a high school not far from Hofstra University, one of the host sites for last weekend’s games, but wound up being postponed until early evening.
