No. 11 Maryland’s attack couldn’t be stopped in Friday’s first round NCAA Tournament game — no matter the time on the clock.

With just two seconds remaining in the first quarter against Drexel, senior attacker Libby May scooped up a ground ball on the baseline. Junior midfielder Shannon Smith found herself in front of the goal and emphatically shot the ball into the back of the net to put the Terps up by four. Maryland excelled on both sides of the ball en route to an 11-6 victory.

Friday’s win marked the eighth straight year in which the Terps advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
