Wierman is the most decorated faceoff specialist in Maryland lacrosse history. What's left? An NCAA championship at home.
Maryland senior Luke Wierman, a West Chester Henderson graduate, is the program leader for the Terrapins in faceoffs won and ground balls.Possession is everything in lacrosse. You need the ball to score, and the best defense is usually when the ball is in the mesh of your stick rather than trying to scheme to stop an opponent.
Take this past weekend’s NCAA quarterfinal for example. Wierman’s Terrapins, seeded No. 7 in the tournament, fell behind, 3-0, late in the first quarter. Wierman then won a faceoff, cruised down the field, and scored six seconds later. Then, after Maryland had cut Duke’s lead to 5-3, the Blue Devils reeled off two straight goals. A run needed to be stopped, and so Wierman did it again — just six seconds midway through the second quarter.
“Watching him the last few weeks, he looks like he’s 100% healthy,” Tiffany said. “The Luke Wierman we saw two months ago is different today.” Two years later, Wierman, 23, has the chance to win a championship at the home of his favorite football team. He has never played at the Linc but spent plenty of birthdays watching lacrosse there, as the stadium has hosted championships in the past. He also attended some of his cousin’s games with Penn at Franklin Field.
