After tying the game just 10 minutes prior, No. 5 Maryland women’s lacrosse found itself in an unfamiliar position. For the first time since its season opener, the Terps trailed Penn State by multiple goals and needed a response to keep the game within reach.
JJ Suriano made a crucial save on a free-position shot and Kennedy Major scooped up the ground ball. Then, Maisy Clevenger sprinted past her defender and delivered a pass to a cutting Shelby Sullivan. The freshman caught the ball and snuck it past goalie Sydney Manning to cut the Nittany Lions’ lead to three.
