The Terps field hockey team finished up their opening weekend trip in Philadelphia with a dominating defensive performance, shutting out Villanova 5-0 and allowing the Wildcats to take just one shot.
The Terps earned a penalty stroke within the first two minutes of the game and it was converted by Katie O'Donnell for her second goal of the season.
Later in the first half, sophomre Jemma Buckley took the ball to goal unassisted to make it a 2-0 Terp advantage.
The Terps offense continued to attack and kept the ball in scoring position for most of the half. Just minutes later Maryland was rewarded with another goal when Meghan Frazer passed the ball ahead to Lindsey Puckett who tapped in the goal.
Harriet Tibble and Alicia Morawski kept the defensive pressure up as the Terps kept attacking the Wildcats in waves and rarely allowed the ball into the Maryland circle.
The Terps scored on a pair of penalty corners before halftime. Kirstie Dennig scored first and at the end of the half freshman Al McEvoy scored an untimed penalty corner goal to make it 5-0.
The Terps would allow one shot nearly 63 minutes into the game. Freshman Natalie Hunter got the start in goal and had a save on the one shot.
Note: The WMUC Player of the game was Morawski
