• The Terps then had a short turnaround for a showdown with two-time defending Big 12 regular season champs Missouri (Ashley Grove third goal of the season was an insurance goal in the 71st minute, but that proved to be the game-winner when Mizzou scored again in the 78th minute to make it a 3-2 game, which is how it would finish.
• The Terps then clinched the Lady Vol Classic title with a 4-0 win over 2009 Atlantic Sun champ Kennesaw State (Jasmyne Spencer, who was named the MVP of the tournament, and Ashley Grove and Domenica Hodak.
• The Blue Hens opened their 2010 season with a 7-0 thumping of in-state rival Delaware State. They then lost their home opener to Army, 1-0, before rattling off three straight road wins over Cornell, Binghamton and UMBC, respectively.
• Delaware is coming off of a 2009 season that saw the Blue Hens finish with a 6-6-5 record and had only one players total double-digit points.
• Maryland is 4-0-0 all-time vs. the Blue Hens, but the two teams have not met since 1992.
• Spencer enjoyed a breakthough season in her second year in the Terrapin program. The Bay Shore, N.Y., native started the year with the game-winning goal in the 3-0 win over Army and didn't slowed up from there. Spencer led the team with 25 points on 10 goals, including four game-winners, and was tied for second on the squad with five assists. Her 25 points were the most fo Terrapin in a season since 1998 when Keri Sarver set the school record with 49 points. Her 10 goals are also the most since 1999 when Jackie Mynarski had 11.
• The preseason honors may have been based upon last season's production, but the 5-foot-1 dynamo has been just as productive early on in 2010 and has earned the honors to show it. Spencer earned three weekly honors following her MVP performance at the Lady Vol Classic (Aug. 27-29). She scored her first goal of the season in the 3-1 victory over host Tennessee and then scored the team's first two goals in the 4-0 shutout of Kennesaw State. In addition to being named the tournament MVP, Spencer was named the co-ACC Player of the Week, selected to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week and was one of collegesoccer360.com's Primetime Performers of the Week. Spencer's ACC honor marks the first time since 2004 that a Terrapin has earned ACC POW honors.
• The 17 straight wins over non-ACC foes ties the school record which was set in 1996 when that squad of Terps won 17 consecutive non-conference games before losing at Notre Dame in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament.
• Through the seasons, the Terps have had a knack for shutting teams out at Ludwig Field. Maryland has won 70 of its 102 victories (68.6%) at Ludwig Field via shutout. Add in the nine 0-0 ties the Terps have had at Ludwig Field and it totals 79 times that Maryland has shutout its opponent in 164 games (48.2%).
