A down 2021 season for Maryland women’s lacrosse featured a season sweep at the hands of Northwestern. The two perennial powerhouses battled three times over the course of the season, with Maryland being outmatched in all three meetings.
Players like junior attacker Libby May remembered the pain and reversed it on Saturday.
May and the Terps possessed more hunger than the Wildcats, and it showed at the tail end of the first half.
Out of their timeout, a miscue from junior attacker Hannah Gillespie set Maryland up with a two-on-one fast break opportunity. It was junior attackers Hannah Leubecker and May that had nothing but green ahead of them as senior goalkeeper Madison Doucette retreated.
