NORFOLK, Va. -
The top-ranked University of Maryland women's lacrosse team won its second road game of the season as it handed 16th-ranked Old Dominion a 13-8 loss at Foreman Field in Norfolk, Va.
With the win, Maryland moved to 7-0 on the season (3-0 ACC) with all but one of its victories coming against Top 20 competition. Against the Lady Monarchs, senior All-American Allison Comito led the way in scoring with four goals. Comito was deadly against ODU as she missed on just one of the five shots she took in the game.
The victory was not as difficult for the Terrapins as the final score reflected. They took control in the first half and held a 5-2 lead at intermission. After Maryland bumped its lead to 8-2 just 10 minutes into the second frame, Old Dominion went on its own run to make the game respectable. Senior midfielder Dana Wisniewski went on a scoring rampage as she found the net five times in the second half, the final tally coming as the clock hit zero to end the game.
As it has in the past three games, Maryland got it done against ODU with a balanced scoring attack. Eight Terps rattled the cage against Old Dominion whereas nine had in each of the previous two contests. In addition to Comito's four-goal performance, Jen Adams had a pair of goals and led the team with a total of six points. Senior Meg McNamara was the only other scorer with more than one goal as she had two as well.
The Terrapins, now winners of 27-in-a-row dating back to last year, will return to action next weekend as they travel to University Park, Pa., for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on the campus of Penn State University. Maryland will take on the host Nittany Lions at 6:00 p.m. on Friday before meeting up with Ohio State in the first meeting between the two schools on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
