No. 8 Maryland women’s lacrosse is on a roll after losing its first game of the season on March 26.
Wins over Georgetown and two Big Ten opponents — Johns Hopkins and Penn State — have put the nation back on high alert. While the Terps’ offense has averaged 15 goals per game over this recent stretch, the defense, particularly that of junior goalkeeper Emily Sterling, has been the driving force.
Allowing an average of four goals per game since the loss to James Madison, graduate defender Abby Bosco, among others, has stepped up to plate. Especially given the injury to senior captain Torie Barretta, the backline has been especially impressive.
