The No. 4 Northwestern Wildcats make their way to College Park to take on the No. 7 Maryland Terrapins in a Big Ten showdown at the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex.
Maryland (7-2) is currently on a three-game winning streak and scored a combined 16 goals in those contests. The Terps registered their fourth shutout on Sunday in a dominating 4-0 victory over American.
Maryland’s defense and offensive depth have led them to force timely turnovers, to allow their athletes to get in transition and put pressure on their opponents’ goalie.
Maryland and Northwestern are not just two of the top teams in the Big Ten, these teams are legitimate championship contenders this season due to the versatility and problems they present for their opponents.
