Two of the top teams in college lacrosse meet when No. 5 Syracuse hosts No. 4 Maryland on Saturday evening. 

The Terrapins (2-0) are already battle-tested, earning a double-overtime victory over a strong Richmond team in their season opener. After leading Maryland in points last year, reigning Big Ten Freshman of the Year Braden Erksa has picked up right where he left off. Erksa has four goals through two games, tying him with senior Daniel Maltz for most on the team. 

The Orange (3-0) have opened their 2024 season with a trio of lopsided victories, outscoring the opposition, 54-20. Sophomore attacker Joey Spallina — last year’s leading point-getter — is off to a sensational start, contributing on nearly half of Syracuse's goals. The reigning ACC Freshman of the Year touts a team-high 10 goals, 16 assists and 26 points so far this season.

The two teams met last season in College Park, with Maryland notching the win, 15-12. The Terrapins lead the all-time series between the two programs, 13-6.
