Terp Talk – Maryland Sports

The No. 1-ranked Maryland field hockey team shut out No. 17 Delaware, 4-0, to move to 16-0 on the year, one of the best starts in school history. Senior Nicole Muracco, who recently became the Terps’ all-time goal-leader, scored twice in the game and fellow senior Emma Thomas scored twice as well. (from umterps.com)

For 81 minutes it looked like “Lady Luck” was going to overlook the 10th-ranked Maryland women’s soccer team in its game against NC State Sunday afternoon at Ludwig Field. Posts, crossbars and a stingy Wolfpack defense stifled the Terrapin offense for much of the afternoon, but the Terps rallied from a two-goal deficit in the final nine minutes of regulation and won the game, 3-2, six minutes into the first overtime. The Terps move to 11-2-2 and 3-2-2 in the conference.
