Athletes are creatures of habbit,but not even a midweek matchup against the George Mason could slow down the Terps as they beat the Patriots 16-4.

The Terps had a slew of scorers as Caitlyn McFadden posted a hat trick. Meanwhile Karri Ellen Johnson, Alex Aust, Amanda Spinnenweber, Brittany Jones and Katie Schwarzmann each posted two goals a piece. Laura Merrifield, Kate Faas and Sarah Mollison also added in a goal each.

Maryland started the game off with a 10-0 scoring run and never looked back. The Patriots did stop the running clock by cutting into the 10-goal deficit and made it an 11-2 game going into halftime.

The Terps chose to give everyone a chance to play and gain valuable experience. The Terps also had the luxury of pulling starting goalkeeper Brittany Dipper at halftime.

In the second half it was more of the same as the Terps closed out the game by outscoring George Mason 5-2 to close out the game.
