Many were surprised when Maryland women’s lacrosse was awarded the No. 4 seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament. The Terps held a 3-5 record at home, including sloppy losses to Penn State and Rutgers.
But on Sunday, Maryland continued to emphatically prove doubters wrong. After beating Robert Morris, 17-1, in Friday’s first round game, Maryland midfielder Kori Edmondson and attacker Eloise Clevenger combined for nine goals to pummel James Madison, 17-7, in the tournament’s second round from the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex.
Edmondson’s four goals tied her career-high and Clevenger’s five was also a career-high. It only took the duo seven and eight shots, respectively, to do so.
