UVA controlled the pace of the play in the first half and would not allow the Terps to kick their offense into gear, but at halftime the Terps adjusted. Coach Cathy Reese told her team, as she often does, that it was a new half and the team as a whole took it upon themselves to impose their will on the Cavaliers.
The Terps did just that as they dominated the pace of play in the second half and pushed the tempo on offense and swarmed in the midfield on defense. The uptempo style proved to be the difference as Maryland beat Virginia 10-6.
In the first half the Terps and Cavs stats were nearly identical in every category as they battled to a 2-2 tie. In the half the Terps offense was led by freshman Katie Schwarzmann and Brandi Jones who each notched a goal.
In the second half, everything went Maryland's way as the Terps out shot UVA 14-7 and led ground balls 7-5. The Terps went on a 5-0 scoring barrage to take a 7-2 advantage. Jones added in two more goals to complete a hat trick, while Laura Merrifield posted a second half hat trick of her own. The Terps also had two goals from Karri Ellen Johnson who continued her streak of scoring a goal in every game of her collegiate career. Meanwhile Sarah Mollison and Caitlyn McFadden continued their streak of points in consecutive games.
