Missed the game? Listen to a replay here


By Brian Kapur


The Terps overcame a four-goal halftime deficit to beat the Nittany Lions 17-9.


PSU started the game off very well and used ball control and defense to build a 6-2 lead with 21 seconds to go before halftime.

But on the ensuing draw, Caitlyn McFadden scored with just 2 seconds remaning to cut the decifit to 6-3, and drain the Nittany Lions' momentum.

After intermission, the Terps picked up right where they left off. Laura Merrifield scored a goal within the first minute of the half, followed by two McFadden goals to tie the game at six. The Terps would build a 14-6 lead about midway through the second half. Penn State never recovered as the Terps contiued their offensive onslaught enroute to the 17-9 win.


McFadden finished with six goals, one shy of her career high. Meanwhile four terps finished with two goals a piece.
