Willed by a masterful performance by JJ Suriano in the cage, Maryland had top-seeded Northwestern on the ropes in Sunday’s Big Ten championship game in College Park. But Northwestern steadied to find its offensive footing in the fourth quarter, coming back from an early four-goal deficit to beat the Terps 8-7.
