Then-No. 8 Maryland women’s lacrosse was up 9-6 over then-No. 20 Johns Hopkins on April 2 when the goalie deflected away a shot on goal by junior attacker Libby May.
The ricochet off of graduate goalkeeper Kathleen Garvey’s stick didn’t travel far as the ball lay vacant right in front of the cage. Enter freshman midfielder Jordyn Lipkin, who flew in from the right edge and scooped up the loose ball.
As she completed the motion with a not-so-smooth tumble, the ball had already found the back of the net to cap off an impressive feat of focus and scrappiness from the youngster.
