Maryland held off a furious rally to edge Virginia, 8-7, two months ago, and this game could produce a similar score.
If the Terps intend to move into the final, they probably need to win at least half of the faceoffs, shoot considerably better than their 29.3 percent showing thus far, get into double digits as a result, and get one more great game out of goalie Dan McCormick, who has saved 62.6 percent of the shots taken at him. Virginia thinks it can win by keeping Maryland's improved offense under wraps, or at least under 10 goals.
