Maryland women's lacrosse used an overpowering first half to dominate Rutgers and advance to the Big Ten Tournament final. The top-ranked and top-seeded Terps (18-0) will take on the winner of the Penn State/Northwestern game on Sunday.
The game did not start in the way that Maryland had hoped. Rutgers took an early 1-0 lead just 1:17 into the game.
However, just a few minutes later, Caroline Wannen, Kacie Longo and Zoe Stukenberg all scored goals in the span of 1:07. The Terps tacked on three more to take a 6-1 lead. When Rutgers responded with a goal to make it 6-2, Maryland roared back with four straight goals, including three in a span of 52 seconds.
