No. 8 Maryland women’s lacrosse vs. No. 2 Northwestern preview

Maryland women’s lacrosse endured a difficult 2021 season that featured three losses to a Northwestern team that made it to the Final Four.

Since joining the Big Ten in 2014, the Terps had lost just once to its Big Ten counterpart prior to last season. The season sweep marked a shift in the conference’s totem pole, but this year has seen a big resurgence from head coach Cathy Reese’s squad.

To little surprise, Maryland has re-emerged as a perennial powerhouse after a down year. Its 13-1 record has been aided by a tremendous five-game win streak, with four of the five victories coming on the road.
