No. 1 Maryland women’s lacrosse slams Rutgers, 18-11, on Senior Day
Eight different Terps scored on Saturday.
With an undefeated record on the line and Senior Day in the back of every players’ mind, it can be difficult for a team to stay locked in. But for No. 1 Maryland women’s lacrosse on Saturday, that was anything but the case.
The Terps took control of the game early and never let go, as eight different players scored while combining for a season-high 43 shots. Despite a slow second half, Maryland held a comfortable lead the entire contest to sail to a 18-11 victory at SECU Stadium. The quickstrike was extremely deadly for the Terps early.
They scored three of their first four goals within 30 seconds of winning the draw control, with each goal coming from a different player. Maryland’s fifth goal came with five minutes left in the opening frame, as Kori Edmondson dodged through four Scarlet Knight defenders and buried a shot from close to grow Maryland’s lead to four. Edmondson ended the contest with two goals and no assists, her third-lowest point total of the season.
Keeley Block then scored five minutes into the second quarter to mark the Terps’ seventh different goalscorer on the day. Just 20 minutes into the game, every offensive starter had a goal. In the draw circle, the Terps appeared to meet their match in senior Katie Buck.
