One down 3 to go. A stubborn Hofstra Pride team’s prolific offense was thoroughly throttled by tenacious defense, faceoff and groundball domination, and stellar goalkeeping from Brian Phipps.
Maryland had goal scoring from 10 different players indicating Coach Cottle’s strategy of using almost the entire team. Ryan Young and Will Yeatman stood out offensively for the Terps. I have to admit when Hofstra took the lead at 5-4, I had a few moments of fear creep in. But this Terrapin team believes in itself and from trailing at 5-4, the Terps outscored the Pride 7-2 until Hofstra and its leader Jay Card scored 2 meaningless goals in the final minutes. Some interesting stats: Groundballs– Maryland 41 Hofstra 21 Saves Maryland 14 Tribe 14
Next up for the Terps –the winner of Army —Princeton next Saturday at Princeton
