Maryland will look to claim its fifth Big Ten title and first since 2022 after knocking off Penn State in the semifinals on Thursday.

No. 2-seed Maryland lacrosse needed to build some momentum. The Terps had just killed a three-minute penalty, and head coach John Tillman’s bench was fired up. Maryland had the chance to stretch its lead — the Terps had scored just once in 24 minutes — but a sloppy turnover by Braden Erksa allowed Penn State to run the other way and tie the game.

Daniel Kelly scores five goals on five shots — including a pair of decisive late strikes — to help lift the Terps past the Nittany Lions, 10-8. Ohio State awaits in the final.
