No. 8 Maryland women’s lacrosse (6-2) was dealt its first loss since Feb. 15 Saturday, snapping its six-game winning streak. The Terps quickly fell behind — trailing 8-1 after the first quarter — and never mustered up a comeback, falling 16-4 on the road to No. 3 Northwestern. It was Maryland’s largest loss since 2021, when it fell to Northwestern 25-12.
The Terps’ offense failed to capitalize on their 20 shots, totaling a season-low four goals. Sloppiness haunted Maryland in the end, as 21 turnovers proved too much to overcome. Despite allowing 16 goals, JJ Suriano amounted 10 saves.
