After a dominant first quarter, No. 5 Maryland women’s lacrosse stalled out in the second quarter against No. 7 Florida. Once leading by six, the lead had shrunk to two after attacker Danielle Pavinelli scored with 35 seconds remaining in the half.
All the momentum seemed to be in Florida’s corner with the clock winding down, but the Maryland attack had other ideas.
Midfielder Shaylan Ahearn collected the 13th draw control of the half for the Terps to get the offense moving. Attacker Aurora Cordingley juked her defender behind the net with less than 10 seconds left, giving her enough space and time to find attacker Eloise Clevenger for the goal with seconds to spare.
