Matt Rambo
The Terrapins men’s lacrosse team announced Friday it suspended sophomore attackman Matt Rambo and dismissed student-coach Brian Cooper for their part in an Oct. 22 incident.
Rambo was charged with first-degree assault and Cooper, a former defenseman who played long pole as a senior last year and planned on coaching with the team until he earned his degree, was charged with second-degree assault.
“We hold our student-athletes to a high standard and they are expected to represent our program and university accordingly,” coach John Tillman said in a statement. “We will continue to cooperate fully with the investigation. Because this is an ongoing matter, we will refrain from any further comment at this time.”
Rambo finished second on the team last season with 30 goals and 36 points as a freshman.
