### 5 Terps Win Gold in Lacrosse Championship


With five former University of Maryland players leading the way, Team USA won its second consecutive title in last summer’s World Lacrosse Men’s Championship, besting Canada, 10-7.

Defense shined on the way to a 7-0 tournament record, anchored by captains Jesse Bernhardt ’13 and Michael Ehrhardt ’14, and Matt Dunn ’16. Bernhardt led the U.S. with 10 caused turnovers, while Ehrhardt, the 2018 World Championship MVP, recorded a pair of goals, four caused turnovers and three ground balls.

Terps were also key to Team USA’s offensive efforts. Matt Rambo ’17 finished fifth on the team in points (14) and goals (nine). Connor Kelly ’18 totaled seven goals and nine points, earning Team USA’s “Guy of the Day” Award after his four-goal, one-assist performance against Israel.

Other Terps who stood out on the World Championship field included Drew Morris ’21, M.S. ’22 (Team Israel), Thomas O’Connell ’19 and Donovan Lacey ’23 (Team Puerto Rico), and Dan Morris ’17, M.S. ’18 (Team Philippines).
