A deflating 16-9 loss against No. 14 Penn State was as atypical of a Maryland women’s lacrosse performance as it could have been.
The final score doesn’t do the performance justice, as the Terps were thoroughly outperformed on the offensive end against the Nittany Lions.
Maryland was outshot 35-27 and had only mustered five goals before four were scored in the final 6:41 of a lost game. Maintaining possession was problematic for the Terps as well, as 16 turnovers hindered the draw control bright spot carried by midfielder Shaylan Ahearn’s ten.
It was one of the team’s worst offensive outings on the abbreviated season and it came with just a week left of the regular season.
