It was a near-flawless victory for No. 2-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse, as they handled Rutgers, 15-9, Thursday night.
The Terps began the game on an 8-0 run, holding the Scarlet Knights scoreless through the first 20 minutes of gameplay. Junior attackers Chrissy Thomas and Eloise Clevenger were dominant. Thomas’s six assists in the contest marked a career-high, while Clevenger’s four scores were a season high.
In the second half, the Terps maintained their torrid pace. The Rutgers defense had trouble matching the speed of the Maryland attackers, which freed up open space for shooters in front of the cage.
