It was the third meeting between the teams this year. In the first, Maryland's starting freshmen attackmen -- Reed, Grant Catalino and Ryan Young -- combined for six goals and three assists in a 13-7 victory.
The Cavaliers changed their defensive assignments on all three in the rematch in the ACC tournament. Reed did not take a shot, Catalino scored one even-strength goal and Young was held to one goal in Virginia's 11-8 win.
Yesterday, the Terrapins changed their top two midfield lines; they put the three biggest midfielders on one line and the three smaller ones on the second.
The moves helped Maryland to a dominant first half: It had a 19-2 advantage in groundballs and 26-11 advantage in shots. Yet it only led 6-4.
In the end, Maryland lamented a goal by Reed that was disallowed early in the fourth quarter after referees ruled that a Maryland player had committed a violation by being in the crease. Oddly, the Terrapins were given possession after the goal was disallowed.
Maryland sophomore defensive midfielder Brian Farrell finished with two goals, and junior Jeremy Sieverts added a goal and two assists. Rubeor finished with three goals, and fifth-year senior goalkeeper Bud Petit had 14 saves. Ince won the game's final four faceoffs.
"I was quite comfortable in overtime," Starsia said. "Everyone had a smile on their face in the huddle, and I think we were very intent on what we had to do to make a play."
