Top-ranked Terrapins trounce women's lacrosse

With one minute left in the first half it seemed as if an upset was brewing.The women's lacrosse team (12-3 overall, 5-1 Ivy League) had scored back-to-back goals in a 40 second span to bring the Tigers back within two goals at 6-4.Maryland (16-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) made sure that burst of hope was short lived, however, as Terrapin midfielder Quinn Carney calmly flipped the ball to cutting attack Allison Comito for a quick goal with 14 seconds left on the clock.Off the faceoff after Comito's goal, junior midfielder Julie Shaner took the ball downfield on a fast break and fired an open shot just over the top of the net as time expired.Princeton would not regain the momentum for the rest of the evening and Maryland cruised to a 14-6 win last night at Princeton Stadium."I think if we had answered there it would have been a big momentum builder," head coach Chris Sailer said.
