In its toughest game of the year, Maryland women’s lacrosse escaped from Charlottesville with a 16-11 victory over Virginia despite being down for half the game.
Caroline Steele carried the Terps offense at times in this game, finishing with five goals. Steele, who came into the game with 20 goals on the season, scored a hat trick over a five minute stretch in the first to give Maryland a one-goal lead. She then scored two goals late in the second to begin a Maryland 6-0 run to pull away.
Freshmen Brindi Griffin and Kali Hartshorn played a huge role in this game.
