Sophomore Austin Henningsen had a great day at the faceoff X, going 18-for-24 (75%). The result marked the eighth consecutive game with at least 13 goals for the Terps since 2016.

The two goals were the beginning of a 8-2 Maryland run the remainder of the game. The Terrapin offense came out of the gates on fire, scoring five goals in the first frame to take an early 5-2 lead. Bernhardt found the back of the net twice, in addition to scores by Heacock, Dylan Maltz and Isaiah Davis-Allen. The goal was Davis-Allen’s first of the season. After St. Joe’s scored a pair of goals to cut its deficit to one, 5-4, sophomore Louis Dubick fed Matt Neufeldt for a goal and then scored one of his own to put the Terps ahead, 7-4. Adam DiMillo also scored his first career goal in the second quarter.
