#5 Terps Ease Past Richmond 18-9 Behind 4 Goals from Brooke Griffin

Some of my observations of a thorough thrashing of the Spiders by Maryland:

I now fully understand why every team including the last 3 the Terps lost to has to slow the ball down against the Terps. In a full speed end to end game Maryland would have easily defeated Northwestern, duke , and Syracuse. Beth Glaros, and especially Katie Schwarzmann lead a squad of speed demons that is really enjoyable to watch. If there was a shot clock you could just hand over the title to Maryland.

Gary Gait played a most boring form of slowdown that was hard to watch last Saturday. I will give Gait, the greatest lacrosse player ever, credit for knowing Cuse would have been soundly beaten had he played uptempo. here is the method: just hold the ball and force the Terps to make a mistake. Now you have to have the athletes to do so. Cuse did, Duke did and they got big fat 1 goal wins. As this relatively young team gets more experience Coach Cathy Reese will solve this problem. Maryland is a tremendous #5 team.
