The Maryland Terrapins held a pregame ceremony to honor coach Missy Meharg for her 400th career win. After 70 minutes of hockey, the Terps collected win 401 for the coach.

The Terps were the faster and more dominant team on the field and sent an early message as Katie O'Donnell scored an unassisted goal just seven minutes into the game.

Duke's goal keeper Samantha Nelson kept the Blue Devils int the game by notching nine saves, including four in the first half on eight shots, and six on 12 shots in the second half.

But the Terps relentless offense was able to find another hole before halftime when Ali McEvoy fired in a goal off a penalty corner to make it a 2-0 Terp lead.

In the second half, Duke was able to hang around, thanks to Nelson's play in goal, and cut the Terps lead to 2-1 with just over six minutes to go.

After a timeout, the Terps slammed the door shut on any hopes of a Blue Devil comeback when Janessa Pope led a transition counter attack and dished out an assist to Jill Witmer who knocked in a game icing goal to give the Terps a 3-1 win.

Terps goal keeper Melissa Vassalotti finished the game with three saves on five shots.

**Listen to Highlights and postgame reaction by clicking here**


The Terps returned to Virginia and left it the way they did in the ACC Championship game- victorious in overtime 2-1 on a penalty corner goal.

The Terps continued their four games-in-eight-days road trip in Charlottesville against No.3 UVA. The Cavaliers took the early lead on the Terrapins and seemed poised to run away with things. But the Terps matched speed with speed.

The Terps defense settled in and their back-line played the game of the season and shut down the Cavs offense which boasts several members of the USA national team.

Defenders Ali Mo, Lauren Barr, and Ali McEvoy played their finest game together and made several astounding tackles and refused to lose one-on-one situations against the likes of Paige Selenski.

In goal Melissa Vassalotti started her seventh straight game and posted a career high eight saves.

On offense, Katie O'Donnell out-dueled Selenski in a match up of two of the most dynamic players in the nation- scoring the game winning goal and assisting the game tying goal.
