Midfielder Kyler Greenwalt sprinted in from the sideline towards the Richmond goal, where the ball immediately found the midfielder’s stick. She slapped it into the cage to give Maryland field hockey a 4-1 lead heading into the second half.
In the final period of Friday night’s game, the junior corralled a rebound, leading to an open cage and her second goal of the night. Greenwalt’s multi-goal performance extended the Maryland lead to 5-1.
That score would hold, as the Terps shut out the Spiders in the second half to secure their first victory of the season.
Greenwalt’s 2018 ended with an ACL tear in the final regular season game, but back in action for the Terps in time for the opener, her 2019 campaign couldn’t have started any better.
