UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The Penn State field hockey demonstrated its growth and improvement in Friday night's matchup. Maryland entered the game ranked ninth in the nation in goals per game. Against Penn State, they only scored one goal. That is a testament to The Lions' defense, something head coach Charlene Morett-Curtiss and her staff wanted to work on during the week.
"We've been working this week on doing a better job getting the ball out of the backfield. This week, we need to concentrate on improving our defense, that's been sort of an inconsistency," said Morett-Curtiss.
