In the early going, it was apparent Maryland field hockey was going to dictate the way Friday’s match was played. With the team was relentlessly pressuring Indiana’s zone, it was a only a matter of time until the Terps struck first.
A little over 12 and a half minutes into the game, Maryland earned its second penalty corner opportunity of the game. Junior forward Bibi Donraadt crisply passed the ball inbounds, which was downed by sophomore midfielder Belle Bressler. Sophomore defender — and University of New Hampshire transfer — Maura Verleg had a great look at the cage.
