NEW HAVEN, CONN. – Despite a pair of goals from Henry West and Dylan Maltz, the #7 Maryland men's lacrosse team fell to #14 Yale, 10-6, in freezing temperatures at Reese Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The pair of goals were the first in a Maryland uniform for Maltz, who transferred from Syracuse in the offseason. Junior goalkeeper Kyle Bernlohr tied his career-high with 12 saves in net.
The Terps started the game on fire, scoring back-to-back goals three minutes into the contest on strikes form Jay Carlson and Matt Rambo to take the lead, 2-0.
Yale quickly answered, however, scoring four unanswered goals, including a pair from Conrad Overbeck. Ben Reeves and Jeff Cimbalista doubled the Bulldogs' lead, giving Yale a 4-2 lead after the first frame.
Henry West ended the Maryland scoring drought with 7:02 left in the second quarter, scoring on a man-up strike after a feed from Joe LoCascio to cut Yale's lead in half.
Dylan Maltz squared the game at 4 after a beautiful feed from Colin Heacock with 2:51 to play in the second.
Yale and Maryland then traded goals, as West and Maltz added their second scores of the contest, and the game progressed into the fourth quarter, 6-6.
The Bulldogs took over in the final frame, however, opening an 8-6 advantage and then adding two empty-netters to seal the 10-6 victory.
The Terrapins return to action with their home-opener against Penn Tuesday at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium. The game is set to begin at 5 p.m.
