After several conference losses this past week to No. 8 Michigan and Ohio State, No. 12 Maryland (13-6) got back on track with an emphatic home win over Big Ten rival Northwestern (11-7).
The Terps improved to 9-1 at home on the season and held the Wildcats to their second-lowest scoring game of the season.
Head coach Brenda Frese, who was with family this past week after the passing of her father, Bill, returned to the bench. Frese coached against Michigan on the day her father passed and missed the Ohio State match.
“I loved our effort and our energy from the start today,” Frese said.
