Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. For 30 minutes, Maryland’s women’s lacrosse team looked human. And then for 30 minutes, Maryland looked like Maryland.

Georgetown led the unbeaten and No. 2 ranked Terps 8-4 at halftime, but Maryland completely dominated the second half outscoring the Hoyas 13-0 over the final 30 minutes in a 17-8 victory. Jen Giles tied her career high with five goals in the win and Grace Griffin had the nifty footwork that gave Maryland its first lead of the night.

WE LEAD 

Jen finds Grace for our fifth in a row this half!!

In the other marquee game of the night, Princeton moved into a three-way tie atop the Ivy League standings with Cornell and Dartmouth after beating rival Penn 13-11. Penn took advantage of three Princeton cards in the final 10 minutes to score three man-up goals to tie the game 11-11, but Elizabeth George scored her career-high sixth goal with 3:50 to play to break the tie and Tess D’Orsi added an empty-net insurance goal in the final minute.

Boston University’s Kailey Conroy, who came into the night leading the nation in assists per game, set a new school record with 10 assists in the Terriers 22-15 win over Holy Cross. She also added three goals to tie her own school single-game record of 13 points.

2. Even before the win, Princeton was one of the big movers in RPI as Jeremy Fallis broke down the latest NCAA Division I women’s lacrosse tournament projections. Based on its own play and getting a boost from Stony Brook’s hot streak, the Tigers moved into the Top 10 in the country in RPI.

3. The NESCAC is always one of the best NCAA Division III men’s lacrosse conferences in the nation, but Wesleyan head coach John Raba says this might be the tightest race he’s seen in his 23 years.

4. Unbeaten Pitt is the No. 1 seed in the US Lacrosse Women’s Collegiate Lacrosse Associates (WCLA) Division I national championship while Utah State earned the No. 1 seed in Division II. The 28-team event takes place in Virginia Beach May 8-11.

5. After a 4-4 start, Stony Brook appears to have found its identity. The Seawolves have won six straight games, including a pair of wins last week over Top 20 teams.

.@StonyBrookWLAX has found its identity, and that's a scary thought for the rest of the country.

Six straight wins has @JoeSpallina and the Seawolves confident heading toward the postseason.

7. Rob Pannell and Kylie Ohlmiller recently took part in a US Lacrosse TryLax clinic in Georgia. Impressions were left both ways.
