CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The four-time defending national champion and current #1 Maryland Terrapins continued their domination of the women's lacrosse scene, scoring a decisive 21-3 victory over the Harvard Crimson this afternoon on Ohiri Field in Cambridge.

The Terps took just 2:41 to get on the board for the first time, and which was nearly their longest scoring drought of the first half, as their scoring was fast and furious. The Crimson were simply overmatched, and could muster only a single goal in the opening frame, coming from the stick of Hilary Walton (Chestnut Hill, MA) The second half was more balanced, as Maryland outscored the Crimson 6-2 in the final 30:00.

Junior Christie Jenkins (Media, PA) had a career day for Maryland, scoring a career-high seven goals and adding an assist. Other multiple goal scorers for the Terps included three-goal scorer Kristin Sommar (North Wales, PA), sophomores Allison Comito (Glen Head, NY) and Quinn Carney (Flemington, NJ) finished with three tallies each, and classmate Meghan McNamara (East Northport, NY) finished with a pair of goals. Claudia Asano (Concord, MA) and Gretchen Puttkamer (Needham, MA) each tallied second-half goals for the Crimson.

In net, Crimson keeper Keltie Donelan (Darien, CT) recorded nine saves, while Alex Kahoe (Villanova, PA) recorded six saves in 56 minutes of work before making way for freshman Kim Blouin (Annapolis, MD), who finished with one save and one goal against.

The Crimson will be in action again next Saturday when the squad travels to Princeton, NJ to take on the fifth-ranked Tigers in a 2 pm contest.
