Memo-11 The superlatives flow for Cathy Reese and her band of Terrapins. After losing to Duke and Carolina in the regular season, Maryland exacted revenge –easily defeating both and gaining the ACC Championship and automatic bid to the big dance!!
Katie Schwarzmann was named tournament most valuable player after capping her stellar weekend with a six-point showing against the Tar Heels. The junior midfielder joined Karri Ellen Johnson with four goals each to lead the Maryland (16-3) attack.
Monday’s win was Maryland’s third consecutive in the ACC championship against UNC (14-3). The victory avenged an early-April loss to the Tar Heels, and unlike that contest, the Terps were dominant from the first draw.
Maryland tallied two goals in the first four minutes of the match, courtesy of scores from Johnson and Kristy Black. Both scores came via assists from Alex Aust, who finished the championship with an ACC tournament career record 13 assists.
