MM 3.22: No. 3 Maryland women’s lacrosse overcomes USC, 13-7, for 10-0 start
This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
No. 3 Maryland women’s lacrosse opened its Big Ten home slate against USC with big games on the horizon — five of the six regular season games beyond Sunday come against ranked opponents. To avoid complacency, the team relied on its senior leadership, with Kori Edmondson scoring or assisting four of the Terps’ first six goals as they raced out to a 13-7 victory.
Edmondson scored a free position goal just under five minutes into the game to bring Maryland level after it had conceded the opening goal. From there, it took 11 minutes for either team to score. Kayla Gilmore potted her sixth goal of the season to give Maryland a lead it wouldn’t relinquish, and Lexi Dupcak added another off an Edmondson pass to give Maryland some insurance.

Edmondson scored another from a free position before Keeley Block peeled free to score two in a row across just 35 seconds. She scored four goals Sunday, the most of any player.
