The No. 11 Maryland women’s lacrosse team finished off its home schedule with another close finish against No. 20 Johns Hopkins.
On March 12, the Blue Jays took the Terrapins to overtime before attacker Hannah Leubecker’s fourth score won the game. This recent go-around seemed destined for extra time once again, only this time it was midfielder Grace Griffin converting on the game-winner with just 39.3 seconds remaining in regulation.
Looking ahead, Maryland has another quick turnaround for its second matchup of the season versus No. 24 Rutgers. In their last meeting, the Terps came away with a 14-12 victory despite committing 17 turnovers.

A deflating 16-9 loss against No. 14 Penn State was as atypical of a Maryland women’s lacrosse performance as it could have been.
The final score doesn’t do the performance justice, as the Terps were thoroughly outperformed on the offensive end against the Nittany Lions.
Maryland was outshot 35-27 and had only mustered five goals before four were scored in the final 6:41 of a lost game. Maintaining possession was problematic for the Terps as well, as 16 turnovers hindered the draw control bright spot carried by midfielder Shaylan Ahearn’s ten.

The Terps will retool ahead of a much anticipated road rematch against No. 14 Penn State. Maryland started off its season on Feb. 21 with a 15-13 loss to the Nittany Lions.

After No. 23 Rutgers battled back to tie the match at 12 against No. 9 Maryland, midfielder Shaylan Ahearn lined up for the free position opportunity following a caused turnover by defender Maddie Sanchez.
The sophomore’s follow through was deflected by the Scarlet Knight defense, but the bouncing ball was able to slip past goalkeeper Sophia Cardello for the tie-breaking goal to give Maryland a cushion down the stretch.
Maryland had 17 turnovers in the game today, with Rutgers causing just ten of those. Unforced errors were detrimental to Maryland holding onto its lead, but the Terps were able to hang on down the stretch for a 14-12 senior day win.
