It was not a great start for the #1 Terps today as halfway through the first half Stony Brook held a 1-0 lead based on stalling tactics. ASt that point Cathy Reese screamed out “Fire” –the pressure defense started and within minutes the game was in the Terps’ command. Stony Brook was flustered and confused by the pressure. Great jon by the coaching staff as maryland advances to play Duke next Saturday.
Brooke Griffin led Maryland (20-0) with four goals while senior Tewaaraton finalist Alex Austpitched in with four points on two goals and two assists.
Katie Schwarzmann – who was recently named a Tewaaraton finalist for the third straight season – put the Terps on the board and evened the score with a free position tally at 13:25, halting Maryland’s longest scoring drought of the year. Beth Glaros then gave Maryland its first lead of the game with an assisted score from Kelly McPartland with 12:19 remaining in the first half.
Aust and Griffin pushed the lead to three with a pair of free position goals with 5:40 and 4:02 left in the first half, respectively, as Maryland carried a 4-1 lead into the break.
