Just four minutes into the game, defender Riley Donnelly found forward Bibi Donraadt who corralled in the assist and swept the ball past No. 12 Duke’s goalie to put No. 9 Maryland field hockey up, 1-0. Donraadt’s energy and tenacity were noticeable from the onset of the game and she was one of the most dominant players on the field for Maryland.
Just a few minutes later with just eight minutes left in the first quarter, Donraadt came right back on the offensive end once more and scored after she rebounded a shot into the net off a shot from her speedy teammate, midfielder Kyler Greenwalt extending Maryland’s lead to two while Duke remained scoreless.
