Box Score COLLEGE PARK, MD – The third-ranked Maryland men's lacrosse team used an 11-0 run that bridged the second and fourth quarters to turn a 7-5 deficit into a 16-7 lead and the Terrapins regained possession of The Rivalry Trophy with an 18-10 win over visiting Johns Hopkins at Maryland Stadium Saturday afternoon.  The Terps improve to 3-0 overall with the win while the Blue Jays slip to 1-2 with the loss.
 
Johns Hopkins had used a 3-0 run of its own to turn a 5-4 deficit into the 7-5 lead late in the second quarter.  A Connor DeSimone goal that beat the shot clock tied it at 5-5 and Jacob Angelus and Joey Esptein scored back-to-back goals just under 90 seconds apart a short-time later to give the Blue Jays the two-goal lead.
 
The Terps had it tied at 7-7 at the half as Logan Wisnauskas and Anthony DeMaio scored consecutive goals just 40 seconds apart in the final three minutes of the opening half to account for the deadlock at intermission.
 
The third quarter was all Maryland as the Terps outscored the Blue Jays 8-0 in the period to put the game away.  A Jared Bernhardt unassisted goal while the teams were playing 5-on-5 broke the 7-7 tie at the 10:32 mark and Bubba Fairman dodged from behind the goal less than a minute later to give the Terps the lead for good.
 
Bernhardt scored three of his five goals during the third-quarter surge and Wisnauskas picked up three of his career-high seven assists to help fuel the spree.
 
Johns Hopkins had opened the game with a 3-1 spurt in the opening 10 minutes as Epstein scored twice and Cole Williams once for the Blue Jays, but Maryland answered with a three-goal run to grab a 4-3 lead late in the period.
 
The Blue Jays got a goal from senior LSM Conner Delaney with just two seconds left in the first quarter to pull even at 4-4 and used the DeSimone-sparked three-goal run to answer Bernhardt's first of the day to grab the 7-5 lead.  Epstein's third goal of the half, which came with 3:31 left in the second quarter, was answered by the run-starting tallies by Wisnauskas and DeMaio that accounted for the halftime tie.
 
Williams (2g, 3a), Epstein (3g, 1a) and DeSimone (2g) paced the Blue Jays, who had a three-game winning streak in the series snapped with the loss.
 
Wisnauskas (2g, 7a), Bernhardt (5g, 1a) and Daniel Maltz (3g, 3a) led the way for Maryland, which also got 14 saves from sophomore goalie Logan McNaney and a 17-of-29 performance on faceoffs from Justin Shockey.
                                                                                                                                                                                                            
Johns Hopkins will return to action on Saturday, March 13 when the Blue Jays host Penn State.  Faceoff in from Homewood Field is set for 12 pm with a live national television audience on ESPNU.
 
Notes:  Williams now has 14 goals and eight assists in six career games against Maryland, while Epstein has 10 goals and five assists in three games against the Terps.  The 28 combined goals are the most in a Hopkins-Maryland games since 2000, when the Blue Jays topped the Terps, 20-11, at Homewood Field.  Today's loss is just the second for Johns Hopkins at Maryland Stadium in its last 11 games there (including two games in the 2015 Big Ten Tournament).
