This seems… enthusiastic, but fails NPOV, clearly written to favor the Terrapins. I attempted a neutral summary, in line with the level of detail for other games.

The Maryland–Virginia lacrosse rivalry (or Virginia–Maryland lacrosse rivalry) is an intercollegiate lacrosse rivalry between the Virginia Cavaliers and Maryland Terrapins. The teams first met in 1926 and have met 94 times, the second-most for UVA and third-most for UMD against any opponent.[1][2] The two are some of the most historically successful intercollegiate programs, combining for twenty-one national titles, ten of which have come in the NCAA era. The Cavaliers and Terrapins were league foes in the Atlantic Coast Conference from 1954 to 2014, before Maryland joined the Big Ten the following year.[3][4] The teams ceased their annual matchup until a meeting five years later in the 2019 NCAA Lacrosse Championship, won by Virginia on the way to their sixth NCAA championship. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but games have resumed since.

These rivals have met twice to decide national titles, with Virginia winning their fifth and seventh NCAA championships (in 2011 and in 2021) over Maryland in hotly contested title matches. They had previously met once in the semifinals, in 2003, with the Cavaliers defeating the Terps en route to Virginia's third NCAA championship.

Maryland leads the all-time series 49–46 through 2022, but Virginia has held the upper hand, 38–20, since 1980.[2]

Series history

Maryland's early dominance (1926 to 1968)

The series was dominated by Maryland early on, with each of the first four meetings being no closer than nine goals. After five games in six years, the series would go on an 18-year hiatus before resuming as an annual fixture in 1950. Virginia grabbed its victory in nine tries with a five-goal win in College Park.[1]

The following year, the teams would meet in 1954 as conference foes for the first time. Maryland continued its early series dominance in response to its first series loss by reeling off another eight consecutive victories. Virginia would snap that streak with its first home victory in 1962, before closing the decade with its first victory in College Park since 1953 in a 9–7 win.[2] A victory the following year would be the final before the advent of the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship. At the end of this era, Maryland would hold a commanding 21 to 5 series lead, punctuated by its eight-game winning streaks.[1]

The advent of the NCAA tournament and rise of Virginia as a major lacrosse power led to a hotly contested period in the series's history. However, the Terps would win the final five meetings of the 1970s, including their first meeting in the postseason, a 15 to 10 victory in the 1978 quarterfinals.

Virginia's modern dominance (1980 to present)

Virginia would grab the initiative in 1980, winning seven of the next eight, though Maryland would again top the Cavaliers in the 1983 quarterfinals. Since 1980, the Cavs have won 37 of 55 meetings to narrow Maryland's series lead to just two games.[5] Nonetheless, the meetings have often been between top five ranked teams and have led to numerous classic games. One of the most significant was the sole meeting in 2009, the longest lacrosse game in NCAA history.[6] An unintentional whistle by the officiating staff negated what would have been a game-winning goal by Terrapins attackman Grant Catalino in the first overtime.[6] After seven overtime periods, the Cavaliers finally put away Maryland with the game-winning tenth goal to prevail 10–9, and preserved its perfect record, 11–0.[6] The game would ultimately be the determinant in the ACC regular season championship, as the Terrapins' loss tied them with Virginia in a split title.

With the advent of the ACC postseason lacrosse tournament in 1989, the two teams would meet even more frequently. The programs would meet 14 times in the ACC postseason, with UVA holding a 8–6 lead in these games.[7] In the NCAA tournament, the Cavaliers hold the series lead at four victories to three, winning each of the last four matchups.[8] The most significant NCAA meeting occurred in the 2011, as Virginia downed the Terps in the title game by two goals to win their fifth NCAA championship.[9][10]

After the Terps departed the ACC for the Big Ten, they would not play the Cavs again until the 2019 edition of the NCAA tournament.[11] Old sentiments stirred again in a controversial Virginia victory in the quarters. While Maryland controlled much of the match and held a commanding five-goal lead at one point, the Cavaliers rallied in the fourth quarter, helped by a critical call that attackman Michael Kraus' shot was deemed a score despite clanging off the post.[12] Virginia took the opening faceoff in overtime, and Matt Moore scored 45 seconds later to propel the Cavaliers into the semifinal and end the Terps’ season short of the final four for the first time since 2013.[12] UVA would ultimately defeat Yale in the final to win their eighth national championship. In 2020, the teams were scheduled to resume the rivalry with a regular season matchup[13] that was ultimately cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[14]

Virginia narrowly defeated Maryland, 17–16, in the Championship Game of the 2021 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship to win their second consecutive and seventh overall NCAA Championship, and their second in a decade won by way of defeating Maryland in an NCAA title match.
