Sunday’s 15-4 win over Denver started just like any other game for Maryland women’s lacrosse. The Terps scored the first four goals in less than 10 minutes, and it seemed as though a blowout was in the cards.
But it wouldn’t come that easy for the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament against a top-25 team like the Pioneers. After Megan Whittle scored at the 20:38 mark, the Terrapins were kept out of the opposing cage and off of the scoreboard for the remainder of the half.
“We don’t like to have scoring droughts ever, of any amount of minutes,” Maryland head coach Cathy Reese said after the game.
