Just three minutes into the first quarter, No. 11 Maryland women’s lacrosse turned the ball over in its defensive zone. Normally an extremely sound clearing squad, the Terps were unable to transition smoothly this time around.
On the turnover, a Georgetown attacker had a seemingly wide-open look at goal. However, Maryland senior goalkeeper Emily Sterling snuffed out the opportunity, sprinting back into the crease and making a lunging save. It was just one of her season-high 15 saves, and her amazing performance helped the Terps to a 13-4 victory.
“It always feels good to get the first one,” Sterling said.
