For the second straight season, Maryland women’s lacrosse defeated Northwestern to win the Big Ten championship and remain undefeated. The Terps pulled away in the second half to win 14-6.
Megan Taylor was a force on the day, making life miserable for the Northwestern offense. She finished with 16 saves on 22 attempts. Even when the Wildcats got good looks, Taylor shut them down to avoid any extended runs.
The game also marked the return of both Jen Giles and Meghan Doherty who both missed the semifinal game vs. Johns Hopkins. The duo returned to the lineup and made their impact felt early and often.
