COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The No. 5 Virginia field hockey team (11-6) suffered a 2-0 loss in its game against No. 2 Maryland (15-2) Wednesday (Oct. 26) at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex in College Park, Md.
The Cavaliers outshot the Terps 11-7, but Maryland capitalized on its opportunities, scoring two first-half goals.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Maryland got on the scoreboard with 1:13 remaining in the first quarter, scoring on a penalty corner. The Terrapins added a second goal three minutes into the second quarter, scoring off a Virginia penalty corner.
