Maryland may be a lacrosse hotbed and a powerhouse in the sport -- this is their 21st appearance in the National Semifinals -- but this year comes as somewhat of a shock. The Terps have four losses on the year and didn’t earn a top-8 ranking at the end of the season, entering the NCAA Tournament unseeded. But they avenged an earlier loss on the season to Johns Hopkins in the quarterfinals and cemented their ticket to Foxborough.

Maryland is unseeded, but they still have a shot against No. 3 Duke in the National Semifinal.
These two teams met once earlier in the season, with Duke escaping with a 6-5 victory after Maryland brought a larger lead down to a single goal in the later minutes. So although the Terrapins are unranked, they’ve already beaten a higher seed and clearly aren’t completely overmatched against the Blue Devils.
