Week 17
MLL Championship
The final installment of the 2019 #ProTerps report is here and it does not disappoint!
Eight Terrapins saw the field for Major League Lacrosse's championship weekend, including seven hardshells who captured the 2019 title with the Chesapeake Bayhawks.

The Terp-Hawks pulled out an OT thriller in the semis, coming from behind to win 14-13 on a goal from Steele Stanwick.
Brian Phipps ('10) made 10 stops in the net to inspire the comeback and clinch his first career playoff win.
Colin Heacock ('17) notched a goal, while assistant coach Jesse Bernhardt ('13) grabbed seven ground balls and caused two turnovers.
Cole scored two goals for the Blaze in the game as his outstanding MLL season came to an end. Cole solidified himself as one of the league's top midfielders this season, finishing fifth in the league in points (53) on 39 goals and 14 assists.
It would take another gritty effort for the Bayhawks in the MLL final on Sunday, but they prevailed with a 10-9 victory over the Denver Outlaws to capture the title.
Isaiah Davis-Allen ('17) ran out the remaining clock in the fourth quarter as the bench erupted, running onto the field to mob Phipps. Phipps was again clutch in net for the Bayhawks, making nine saves, while Bernhardt caused a pair of turnovers.

All in all, with seven Terps on the Bayhawks and 17 hardshells on the PLL Whipsnakes, Maryland lacrosse produced the most professional lacrosse champions of any school.
It might be safe to say 2019 was the greatest year for Maryland alums in the history of professional lacrosse.
Thanks to all for following along this summer and fall, looking forward to an even better year in 2020!

Being there, and kind of just standing back and seeing all of those kids and seeing what they have done on the field, but what they are doing in their lives, they all have successful careers in a variety of areas. Just to see them together, playing hard, having to come back and win a tough game I thought was awesome."
