Top-ranked Maryland field hockey shut out Hofstra, 6-0, Tuesday night at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex to move to 12-0 on the year. Senior captain Ali McEvoy and junior Maxine Fluharty led the way with two goals each.
“We’re very pleased with the temperament, the mentality and the dominance of the play we came out with,” head coach Missy Meharg said. “As a coach, when you play a game like we played in Chapel Hill, you’re kind of concerned in your next match the opening might be tough to get into. I’m very proud of the Maryland team. Every one of them just stepped to the plate. You could see during warmups it was going to be a learning experience for us and an opportunity to grow our game.”
Maryland (12-0, 3-0 ACC) picked up its fourth shutout of the year. The Terps opened the scoring in the eighth minute when Fluharty was there for a put-back off a penalty corner. Sophomore Sarah Sprink’s initial shot was saved and Fluharty was there to tip in the rebound over the goalkeeper.
