COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The first 40 minutes of Saturday’s game against Ohio State demonstrated Maryland isn’t unstoppable.

The last 20 minutes illustrated why the Terrapins remain undefeated.

Logan Wisnauskas had five goals and two assists and five other Terps enjoyed multi-goal games as Maryland (11-0, 4-0) pulled away for a 19-12 victory to clinch the top seed in the Big Ten tournament.

The lopsided final margin didn’t seem likely, though, when the Buckeyes darted to a 7-3 lead and later held a 10-9 edge in the middle of the third quarter.

“At times it’s been easy and at times it’s been sloppy, and we’ve gotten away with it,” said senior defensive midfielder Roman Puglise, who scored twice. “But we needed a little test.”

Goalie Skylar Wahlund made 19 saves, including three point-blank stops in a flurry late in the first quarter, and Jack Myers had two goals and four assists for Ohio State (8-4, 2-2).

The Buckeyes were within 12-11 entering the fourth quarter, only for Maryland to rattle off five consecutive goals to pull away.

“I felt like we had them in a position where we could win,” coach Nick Myers said. “We weren’t reading the headlines this week. We were coming down here to try to win our third Big Ten game. I felt like we had a great game plan, and I felt like our best lacrosse is still out there for us. I just felt like we didn’t execute as well as we needed to beat a really good team today.”

Maryland locked up at least a share of the Big Ten regular season title for the sixth time in the seven seasons a champion was crowned. Since the Terps hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over Rutgers, they are assured of the No. 1 seed in the May 5-7 tournament — an event to be played in College Park.

Unlike Sunday’s rout of Rutgers, this one wasn’t over quickly. Ohio State not only became the first team to lead Maryland by more than one goal this season, it also led for a total of 18:51 —more than the combined 16:34 the Terps had trailed in their first 10 games.

“I thought this was good for us, to kind of have to come from behind,” Maryland coach John Tillman said. “It’s going to happen at some point. I just didn’t know when, just because I think our league is good. We have a good schedule. To be able to go through that and realize, ‘Here’s how we do it,’ I thought it was really good.”
