Maryland men’s lacrosse’s Jack Koras and Luke Wierman were named Big Ten Offensive Player and Specialist of the Week, respectively, following the Terps’ 13-11 comeback victory at Penn State.
Koras had a game-high four goals in Sunday’s win, including two goals in the first 26 seconds of the fourth quarter. He also scooped four ground balls.
Wierman, meanwhile, finished 16-of-27 at the faceoff “X” and won all but three faceoffs in the second half. He also tied his career high with two assists.
The Terps will look for a second straight win when they host Ohio State at noon Saturday.
