Maryland field hockey lost its second consecutive national championship game on Sunday, as the No. 2-seed Terrapins fell 2-0 to undefeated top seed North Carolina in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Tar Heels dominated early and often, as they built a 2-0 lead in the first half. A Maryland push in the second half just wasn’t able to break through the North Carolina defense. The Terrapins finished the game leading in shots and shots on goal, but the Tar Heels did their damage early.
North Carolina led Maryland 5-0 in shots through the first 35 minutes, including four of which that were on goal.
