No. 4 Maryland field hockey starts its two-game road trip with a top-five showdown against the No. 3 Iowa Hawkeyes on Friday at 4 p.m. in Iowa City, Iowa.
The Terps (9-1) are coming off an offensive explosion in their dominant 7-2 victory over Michigan State on Sept. 25. Maryland’s offense applied pressure the entire afternoon, as it recorded at least two goals in three of the four quarters. Its defense stifled the Spartans’ attack, limiting them to four penalty corners and seven shots.
Iowa (8-1) enters the matchup on a seven-game winning streak that began with a 4-0 victory over Boston University on Sept.
