In what shaped up to be a quintessentially Maryland field hockey game, the No. 6 Terps fell behind early and looked to be in trouble. But they still emerged victorious in East Lansing, Michigan, beating Michigan State 3-1.
The game’s start offered no indication as to how events would unfold. Michigan State and Maryland parried blows, with both teams looking to get off to a hot start but neither able to find the final ball.
The Terps won their first penalty corner six minutes into the game. Emma DeBerdine swung the ball in, but Ericka Morris-Adams miscontrolled the ball and lost possession.
