COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The No. 4 Maryland lacrosse team (3-0) will have a quick turnaround when the team heads to Villanova (0-2) Tuesday, February 18 for the team's lone midweek matchup of the regular season. Faceoff is slated for 4:00 pm and the game will be streamed on villanova.com.

The Terps are fresh off their second consecutive comeback victory, rallying from down six goals against sixth-ranked Penn last weekend to pull out a 17-15 win. 

STORYLINES BY THE NUMBERS

2 – Maryland had to play two overtime periods to seal a victory at Richmond on February 8, the longest game for the Terps since defeating Johns Hopkins 8-7 in a triple overtime classic on April 28, 2018. The Terps are no stranger to overtime games, playing in five OT contests a season ago. The Terps are 5-2 in OT games since 2018.

3 – Freshman Daniel Maltz became the first Terp to score three extra man goals in the same game since Xander Ritz tallied three against Georgetown back on February 25, 2006. The Ashburn, Va. Native has been a catalyst on the man-up unit for the Terps, scoring four of Maryland's five EMO goals through three games.

5 – Junior faceoff specialist Justin Shockey was clutch for the Terps at the X in the fourth quarter against No. 6 Penn, winning five of seven faceoffs to help fuel the Terrapin comeback effort. Shockey finished the day with 17 faceoff wins overall, tying his career-high for wins set against Villanova on March 17, 2018. Shockey's 35 faceoffs taken against the Quakers were a career-high and the second most taken in a single game by a Terrapin on record. Shockey's 35 were just three short of Andy Claxton's school-record 38 faceoff attempts against Towson in 1991.  

6 – Maryland had to overcome a six-goal deficit to defeat sixth-ranked Penn on February 15, marking the second consecutive game the Terps overcame a 5+ goal deficit in the second half. Trailing 15-9 in the third quarter, the "Cardiac Terps" rattled off eight straight goals while holding the Quakers scoreless to grind out a 17-15 win.  

8 – Jared Bernhardt moved into eighth in all-time goals at Maryland after a four-goal outing against Penn on February 15. The senior attackman now has 122 career goals, moving past Grant Catalino (119) and Scott Hochstadt (121) on the all-time list. Bernhardt is just the fifth Terp since the turn of the century to reach the top-10 in all-time goals, joining Matt Rambo (155), Joe Walters (153), Connor Kelly (128), and Catalino. 

11 – Maryland is 11-1 all-time against Villanova, with their only loss coming in overtime during the Terps' 2017 National Championship season. Last year the Terps cruised to a 10-goal victory at Maryland Stadium on March 16.

16 – Maryland has won 16 straight February games, and is 30-2 overall under John Tillman in games played in the opening month of the season.

19 – Sophomore goalie Chris Brandau turned in his finest performance as a Terrapin against No. 6 Penn, making 19 saves to help Maryland secure the comeback win. 13 of his saves came in the second half, as he helped anchor Maryland's defense which held the Quakers scoreless for the final 22:58 of play.
