Behind its defense, No. 10 Maryland women’s lacrosse grinds out win over Ohio State, 14-9

With 10:13 remaining, Ohio State was hanging around despite once trailing by six goals. Maryland defender Laurie Bracey caused a turnover out of the visitors’ timeout, which immediately flipped the field into a free position opportunity for attacker Hannah Leubecker.

For goal No. 20 on the year, Leubecker took the free position up the middle and bounced it past goalkeeper Jillian Rizzo to end the 12:21 drought by the Terrapins.

That score ignited a strong finish to the game for Maryland, as it closed out the Buckeyes, 14-9, for its fourth straight victory.

Leubecker opened things up with a bouncing shot — her 17th in five games — to continue her amazing start to the season.
