In her first career road start, No. 5 Maryland field hockey freshman goalkeeper Alyssa Klebasko was ready for the moment.
Leading the Terps, Klebasko erupted for a career-high seven saves to power Maryland to a 2-1 win over No. 6 Virginia (5-3) Monday night. The victory, Maryland’s first against a top-10 ranked opponent this season, put the Terps (7-2) back in the win column after being upset by unranked Princeton in their last outing.
Klebasko did not concede a goal to the Cavaliers, setting a career mark with five saves in the first half alone. The performance came after the freshman had 10 saves across her first six appearances and more than 200 minutes played.
