The unseeded Maryland Terrapins will take on the top-seeded Loyola (Md.) Greyhounds in the 2012 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship Game on Monday. Despite the apparent mismatch, the Terps ride into Gilette Stadium with momentum after beating the No. 3 seed Duke Blue Devils, 16-10, on Saturday.

The Terps also beat the No. 2 seed Johns Hopkins Blue Jays in the quarterfinals, setting them up for a potential clean sweep of the tournament’s top three seeds.
The Greyhounds were the tournament’s top seed for a reason, however, after going 17-1 this season. Eric Lusby scored five goals in the Greyhounds’ 7-5 win over Notre Dame on Saturday to put them on the cusp of a championship.
The all-Maryland NCAA Tournament Final will face off in Foxboro, Mass. at 1:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
