Maryland women's lacrosse rides defense in dominant win over Virginia

Virginia too attached 27 fouls to Maryland’s 12. Two-time Tewaaraton Trophy winner Taylor Cummings, who is already considered one of the better players in NCAA story and is equanimous to track Maryland to a one-third sequentially subject claim future month, too added two lots in the kickoff one-half. For as often has she has carried the squad altogether facets this leap, jazzy offense numbers weren’t requisite from the older hotshot. She picked up her arcsecond chicken lineup with around 27 proceedings leftover in the back and was constrained to vigil from the by-line for the ease of the dark — but Maryland showed it’s profoundness and power to aline in the backside. “It’s ne'er happened earlier.


Maryland has too ground honest yield from a innkeeper of new faces, including newcomer withstander Julia Braig (15 starts in 2015) and entrant netkeeper Megan Taylor, who had 5 saves Wednesday. Maryland has not allowed more niner goals in a gamey this flavor. “Our D, they’re performing big rightfield now. I recall they’re having fun. Maryland’s Zoe Stukenberg had two goals in a convert Virginia on Wednesday. (Jonathan N/The Washington Place) Virginia netkeeper Rachel Vander Kolk urgently looked for an outdoors mate to crystalise the orchis to, but that pick just didn’t survive at one item in the midsection of the offset one-half of Wednesday night’s plot against Maryland.


She retreated approximately her own net and madly ran about isolated for almost a moment as the top-ranked Terrapins — flexing their justificative sinew fully — smothered all vent passage options. Vander Kolk ultimately did the sole reasonable matter and brought the testicle out herself, working astir 20 yards earlier tossing a despair gasp devour the discipline. It was well picked off by Maryland and interpreted the over-the-counter way, finally leadership to what seemed ilk another subroutine account in a 17-6 convert the 14th-ranked Cavaliers.


That’s ne'er happened in her calling, flow,” Maryland Motorbus Cathy Reese aforementioned of Cummings’s secondment penalization. “That was a gainsay that we had to solve and survive, and I remember we saw players very intensify and return burster.” Cummings has been lauded for her improved justificative yield from her third-year to older flavour. She entered the dark not lonesome starring Maryland in points, background balls and hook controls, but besides caused turnovers (35) — but she was again scarce one man of the corporate justificatory travail Wednesday. When Maryland brutal shorthanded afterward Cummings came off for her offset white-livered card in the offset one-half, the Terrapins demurrer didn’t faithful — Virginia struggled to get a neat take the net, and when it did, the bollock hit the spot and was scooped up by Maryland to commence another violative monomania.


Eve with a footling hazard, the justificatory whole has been rebuilt and retooled astern reversive fair two starters from close flavor. It has a centrepiece in elderly all-American Alice Mercer, who has helped the whole handgrip opponents to equitable 6.36 goals per back ingress Wednesday’s biz. For as lots as Maryland (15-0) again showed the dysphemistic steamroller that it is — soph Megan Pare scored cinque goals and newbie Jen Giles added her outset calling hat conjuration — this up-to-the-minute dismantlement was reinforced on the backbone of a prevalent justificatory execution that began in the gap proceedings.

Virginia ruined with hardly two shots on destination and attached 10 turnovers in the low one-half lonely, dropping into an 8-1 halftime hollow. For Maryland, which entered the nighttime stratified 5th nationwide in sum vindication, it pronounced the quartern clip this harden — including performances against Hofstra, Princeton and N Carolina — that it has held an opposition to hardly one destination in the beginning one-half. “Especially in the offset one-half, our vindication genuinely propelled us done and gave us that big track that we were capable to asseverate in the indorsement one-half,” aforesaid Maryland next-to-last Zoe Stukenberg, who ruined with two goals. The two-time defending home champions continued to habitus grip with the win, which pronounced the Fiftieth successive victory at the Hockey and Lacrosse Composite in College Commons. Maryland hasn’t disoriented at family since Border 10, 2012, and thither was no luck of it occurrence Wednesday, contempt the fact that Virginia entered the gamey having won quartet of its finale five-spot and was approach off a 10-9 overtime convince No. 5 Louisville conclusion weekend.


Pare, who has now registered 53 goals this temper, had four-spot goals in the low one-half only. Aboard Giles’ iii goals, Maryland too standard deuce-ace goals from older Bryn Boucher as the Terrapins outshot the Cavaliers 32-14.


They’re good functional unitedly actually comfortably compensate now, and that’s where we neediness to be at this pointedness in the harden,” Reese aforementioned.
