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.
“It was a good opportunity to reset after playing two games in a week,” Brindi Griffin said. “Our bodies had time to recover both physically and mentally . [We’re] getting better each day and we’re really excited to play them.”
A pair of much needed wins against the Wolverines was spearheaded by a career-high seven goals from sophomore Hannah Leubecker in the opening leg. 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.
