No. 12 Maryland men’s lacrosse trounces Michigan, 14-8
Eric Spanos’ career-high effort propelled the Terps Saturday.
In just his second game back from injury, Eric Spanos stole the show during No. 12 Maryland men’s lacrosse’s Big Ten clash against Michigan. With the Terps up by just two goals after the first quarter, the All-Big Ten first-teamer imposed his will on the Wolverines.
Spanos netted four of his career-high eight goals in the second frame. While Michigan clawed within a goal in the second half, Spanos struck once again minutes later. After receiving a pass on the wing, he faced up his defender and shuffled laterally to gain a sliver of separation.
