In a difficult first half for No. 1 Maryland here at the field hockey complex the Terps have displayed a somewhat sloppy offense with an incredible amount of turnovers, and a failure to capitalize on 5 penalty corners which have usually been where they put points on the board.
This is the first time this season that Maryland has trailed at halftime.
No. 3 Virginia has once again showed off their incredible defense by keeping maryland shutout with only seven shots. Six of them were made by the Terps' stars Katie O'Donnell and Emma Thomas.
Virginia was able to capitalize on a poor pass on a Maryland penalty corner allowing their goal leader Paige Selenski to score unassisted on a fast break up the side.
With less than one minute left, Maryland was awarded a penalty corner which they successfully made. But after the score was put on the board, the umpire washed it out saying that the ball never left the half circle leaving the momentum on Virginia's side.
Maryland will attempt to make something happen in the second half against the fearless Virginia Cavaliers who are 5-0 against ranked opponents and 2-0 against those ranked in the top 10.
