In its first true nonconference road match against a ranked opponent in almost two years, No. 5 Maryland women’s lacrosse showcased its resiliency in a 17-13 victory.
After being shutout in the second quarter, 5-0, head coach Cathy Reese’s squad responded out of halftime with an 8-0 third quarter. Despite an intense fourth quarter, the strong start to the second half proved to be the difference maker.
“I think the biggest takeaway overall was I think we learned a lot about ourselves that game,” Reese said. “Being able to reassess and make some changes and come out in the third quarter to go on an 8-0 run was awesome.
