NFT: Maryland Lacrosse Curse

just another failure to come up big when it mattered

To lose this way year in and year out.

They are becoming the Buffalo Bills of the LAX world.

both lost in the final to UNC. Hopefully this bad juju is counteracted by the Durkin era in football.

both teams, that was a very exciting game. Both goalies came up with some big-time saves down the stretch.

... 1975 title.

was wearing Carolins blue.

Nowhere near almost every year and a lot of that came in the beginning and in the most recent years. Throw that out and they were no factors for 25 years. And most of the times they got there they were not the best team although there are 5 or so times where they simple choked and could have won.

There is no curse. Syracuse, Princeton, UVA, Hopkins all got it done multiple times when they needed to. Terps were either the 3rd or 4th best of the Final Four or the gagged like today. Choking is not cursed and if you point to a crossbar or lucky save the other way you miss that they should have won today by 5+ goals but choked (although not as badly as the women did).

the crossbar certainly was the 11th UNC player on the field in OT. Shame that there had to be a loser, really... Bernlohr's OT save was one of the best I've ever seen.

MD is getting the recruits. That door will open eventually...

is hardly a curse. And that game went to OT.

:-(
