Down 5-2 in the third quarter, No. 1 Maryland women’s lacrosse needed a player to step up against No. 2 Michigan’s top-ranked defense nationally.
Attacker Eloise Clevenger, usually the player dishing the ball to her teammates, found the back of the net three times in the second half, helping the Terps earn a crucial conference win against the Wolverines, 8-6.
“[Eloise] is a great feeder, but she’s also a great shooter,” head coach Cathy Reese said. “We try to put her into positions where she can take advantage of both. When she could shift and make that adjustment.
