Dude everyone on the field was done growing a long time ago.

Maryland's principal advantage in that game was their fantastic goalie - 17 saves versus 9 saves for the Cornell goalie - and Logan McNaney is a junior.

It’s not all about physical growth. They had years of more experience to grow the skill and understanding of the game.
