No. 2-ranked Maryland women’s lacrosse (14-0, 4-0 Big Ten) will be on the road to face No. 5 Northwestern (9-3, 3-0) in Evanston, Illinois, on Thursday night.
The Terrapins are fresh off of a 14-3 victory against then-No. 7 Michigan last Saturday, one of their most complete performances of the year. Maryland dominated in almost all categories and cruised to victory against another top-10 opponent.
But Northwestern will be a tall task, as it boasts the highest scoring offense in the country at 19 goals per game. The Wildcats are also very dangerous from the eight-meter, scoring on 44 of their 83 free-position chances.
