Jared Bernhardt, a Tewaaraton Award favorite looking to lead Maryland on an NCAA title run this month, had a career day in the Big Ten semifinals against Michigan.

The attackman scored eight goals and had two assists, setting the Maryland all-time scoring record with his 258th career point to pass Matt Rambo and setting a new career high with 10 points. Bernhardt is the USA Lacrosse Division I Men’s Player of the Week for his efforts.

Future @Tewaaraton Winner Jared Bernhardt?

He put up a career-high 10 points (which included a career-high 8 goals) and broke the @TerpsMLax all-time career points record in a rout of Michigan.

He followed that performance with two goals and one assist against Johns Hopkins in the Big Ten title game. With Maryland down 9-6 in the third quarter, Bernhardt scored his second of the game to narrow the deficit to two goals. He then assisted Daniel Maltz for the tying goal three-plus minutes into the fourth quarter.

Maryland, the No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament, plays Vermont in the first round.
