"Did alright." They won the championship the previous year. They took a pretty big step back.

Anyway, not really the same. Maltz was only that team's 5th leading scorer and not really an AA caliber player. They still had Kelly, their 2nd leading scorer, and while he was called a midfielder he never left the field so was basically like having another attackman. So bringing back two of your top 4 scorers is not like losing your top 3 who accounted for a much bigger % of overall team production.

On top of all that, the Terps went from winning the title in 2017 to getting beaten easily by Duke in the quarterfinals the next year. They went down 6-0 in that game, never cut it to less than 3 and lost by 5. So even if the personnel losses were the same as what Rutgers is dealing with now, if anything this example [I]proves[/I] what I said. They took a significant step back from 2017 to 2018 after losing Rambo and Heacock. Relative to what Rutgers had, they're losing even more.
