With 46.7 seconds left in the match with score tied at eight, No. 11 Maryland women’s lacrosse midfielder Grace Griffin caught the No. 20 Johns Hopkins defense sleeping.
Expected to drain the clock to its final seconds, Griffin chose to attack the unsuspecting Blue Jay defense and fire in a laser from her weak side, giving the Terps a 9-8 lead with 39.3 seconds remaining.
Defender Lizzie Colson scooped up the draw following Griffin’s monumental goal, icing the game for the Terrapins and allowing them to secure the season sweep over Hopkins with the narrow 9-8 victory.
