No. 6-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse hadn’t played a game in nearly two weeks entering its NCAA Tournament opening round clash with Fairfield. There was a chance that rust would play a factor early on for the Terps.
Those concerns quickly dissipated on Maryland’s first possession of the contest.
Kori Edmondson stood near the top of the Terps’ attacking zone, setting up her offense with plenty of time on the shot clock. However, the USA Lacrosse All-American first-teamer took it upon herself to generate Maryland’s first look. Edmondson weaved her way through the defense, embraced the contact and tucked her shot into the bottom corner.
