With just over a minute remaining in the first half, Michigan field hockey midfielder Guadalupe Fernandez Lacort juggled the ball along Maryland’s baseline, evading two Maryland defenders.
Fernandez Lacort weaved her way to the side of the goal and slapped a shot past Maryland senior keeper Noelle Frost to take a 1-0 lead.
Although it was the only goal of the game for No. 9 Michigan (11-3, 4-1 Big Ten), the Terps were unable to overcome the tally and fell 1-0 for their second loss of the season.
For No. 2 Maryland (13-2, 5-1), it was just the second time all season that it would be trailing going into the third quarter, with the first time coming against then-No.
