The No. 2 Maryland field hockey team tripped up in its final regular season game, losing 3-1 to No. 23 Virginia on the road Sunday afternoon.
The Cavaliers opened the match with relentless pressure, and an early two goals gave them enough of an edge that the Terrapins (16-2) just couldn’t top. Virginia led 2-0 after nine minutes, and while Maryland got within one early in the second half, the Cavaliers added an insurance goal late to put the game away.
Virginia (7-8) opened up the scoring early, as Greer Gill knocked in her first goal of the game off a rebound from a Sarah Holliday save just under seven minutes in.
