In the prior three meetings between No. 9 Maryland women’s lacrosse and Saint Joseph’s, it was one-way traffic. That was the storyline of Saturday’s matchup, but it took some time for the Terps to get to that point.
Chrissy Thomas patiently waited on the right side of the field as Maryland’s offense developed. The graduate student spotted Maisy Clevenger cutting in front of goal unmarked. Thomas delivered the pass, and in one fluid motion, Clevenger looped the ball over goalie Jorden Concordia. That was Thomas’ ninth assist of the season and the second of her four points.
The goal opened a three-goal lead for the Terps and was the start of their offensive onslaught.
