Graduate attacker Aurora Cordingley spent four years with Johns Hopkins before transferring to play for head coach Cathy Reese and the Maryland women’s lacrosse program.
Cordingley’s return to Homewood Field on Saturday did not go as she had envisioned. In the closing seconds of the third quarter, Maryland’s leading scorer was held to just two shots, with the Blue Jay defense having neutralized their former teammate.
But a late turnover by sophomore defender Cameron Levine left the window of opportunity open for the former Hopkins standout to make an impact.
Cordingley earned an attempt from the eight-meter with seconds remaining.
