An impressive weekend sweep of Michigan has brought the No. 8 Maryland women’s lacrosse team over .500. After 12 days off, head coach Cathy Reese and company will make a pivot to Baltimore to go up against Johns Hopkins on Friday.

The second half was played in constant rain, and despite multiple scoreless droughts from the Terps, they were able to edge the opposition to complete the sweep.
