Maryland men’s lacrosse reportedly makes 2 additions for 2020 season

Maryland men’s lacrosse started its offseason with a pair of new additions over the weekend, dipping into both the recruiting and transfer markets.

Michael Uriaco, a long-stick midfielder who spent his freshman season at Villanova, could compete for playing time in College Park right away with Maryland long-pole Nick Brozowski graduating this spring. The Boys Latin product, who appeared in all 15 games as a rookie this season, will join high school teammate Logan Wisnauskas with the Terps.

The Terps also added to their stable of faceoff specialists, flipping 2019 All-American Luke Wierman from his Fairfield commitment. Draws were a strength for Maryland in the regular season but a weakness in the NCAA Tournament, and with Austin Henningsen out of eligibility, several other players have a chance to join rising junior Justin Shockey in the rotation.

Maryland went 12-5 this season and reached the NCAA quarterfinals before collapsing against eventual national champion Virginia. The Terps return a strong core for 2020, though, and these additions make the roster that much deeper.
