Late goal by Terps' Adams sinks women's lacrosse, 7-6

For 58 minutes, the women's lacrosse team's defense followed its plan perfectly.Princeton slowed down the pace of play against top-ranked Maryland (16-0) and held two-time National Player of the Year Jen Adams to a single goal.Then Adams showed why she is possibly the best lacrosse player in the world.With the score tied, 6-6, and one minute, 31 seconds left on the clock, Adams spun towards the center of the field and fired toward freshman goalie Meghan McInnes.As the ball flew over McInnes' shoulder, the freshman did not hear the sound of the net being rustled that usually accompanies a goal ? instead there was a clang as the ball bounced off the crossbar.But as McInnes turned she saw what could only be described a shooter's bounce.
