Some nights when you’re the best team in the country, you don’t have to play your best game to win – even when the opponent is the 18th ranked team. This was the case for Maryland’s women’s lacrosse team Wednesday night. The Terps left their ‘A’ game at the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex in College Park but put together two major runs and managed to leave Klockner Stadium in Charlottesville with a 16-11 win over … Read More »
