No. 3 Maryland women’s lacrosse experienced a slight hiccup in the second quarter of Wednesday night’s game versus Penn.
After jumping out to an 8-2 lead, the Terps ceded three straight goals. They struggled to get shots past senior goalkeeper Krissy Kowalski and defend on ensuing Penn possessions. But with 3:02 left in the quarter, Maryland’s defense helped reestablish its offensive prowess.
Sophomore midfielder Shannon Smith forced the turnover on freshman attacker Keeley Block and away they went. Speeding down the field, Smith dished it off to junior attacker Libby May on the left side, who then quickly sent it the other direction from behind the net to graduate attacker Aurora Cordingley.
