The Cardinal had a slight lead in shots, 19-17, but the Terps had eight corner kick opportunities to Stanford's six. Stanford controlled the first half, out-shooting Maryland 10-2, but Yewande Balogun made five of her 11 saves in the opening 45 minutes to keep the Terps in the match.The second half was a different story as it was Maryland controling the flow of the game and earning an 11-5 shot advantage.
• After being delayed a day due to the effects of Hurricane Irene, the Terps topped Navy, 3-0 (Lydia Hastings, Yewande Balogun only needed to record two saves to register her third shutout of the season. However, for the Terps it was the fourth shutout of the season, which set a school record for most consecutive shutouts to begin a year.
• The Terps continued to play good soccer with a 2-0 shutout of St. Louis (Jasmyne Spencer. The back line of Anderson, Lydia Hastings and Yewande Balogun needed to make just one save to earn her fourth shutout of the season.

Hodak tallied her second assist of the game in the 70th minute by setting up Hayley Brock's third goal of the year. Brock then turned around and got the helper on Cory Ryan's first collegiate goal in the 81st minute. Sade Ayinde wrapped up the scoring with her first goal of the season on a direct strike off of a corner kick in the 84th minute.
• The game vs. American was moved to the Maryland SoccerPlex in Germantown due to inclement weather in the College Park area, but that didn't stop the Terrapins from rolling to a 5-1 victory over the Eagles (Yewande Balogun. The match was shortened to 86 minutes due to lightning.

Game-Winners Galore
•

Since they arrived in 2008, Maryland has won 48 matches and those three have combined for 23 game-winning goals. That means that in 47.9% of Maryland's victories over the past three-plus seasons have come with Spencer (10), Grove (7) or Ayinde (6) scoring the game-winner.
Spencer Earns Preseason Honors
• Senior Jasmyne Spencer earned three major preseason honors heading into the 2011 season. Last season, Spencer became the first Terp in the program's history to be named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Preseason Watch List and once again she is among the 42 selections to the Watch List in 2011.
• She was also selected to the Soccer America preseason All-America list for the second-straight season and was named one of the top 20 upperclassmen in Division I by TopDrawerSoccer.com.
• Spencer is coming off a junior season that saw her selected to the All-ACC first team for the second consecutive season and became the first Terp to earn NSCAA All-America honors since 1996. She was also a repeat first team All-Southeast after tying for the team lead with 10 goals and finishing second on the squad with 25 points. Her two-year totals of 20 goals and 50 points are the highest two-year aggregate for a Terrapin since 1995-96.
Beanz Earns First Cap At Pan Am Games
• Freshman goalkeeper Rachelle Beanlands was recently named to the Canadian National Team that is competing at the Pan American Games Guadalajara 2011, which runs from October 18-27. Beanlands earned her first cap with the full national team, starting in the 1-0 victory over Argentina on Oct. 20. Canadian coach John Herdman said this about Beanlands following the match, "(Rachelle) grew in confidence as the match wore on. Perhaps those first five minutes were shaky, but she grew in confidence and made some good decisions and made a good save."
• Canada, which defeated Costa Rica, 3-1, in its opening match has qualified for the semi-final stage of the Women's Football Tournament, thus earning at least two more matches in Mexico. Canada will play Brail on October 21 before advancing to the semi-final match on October 25 and either the championship match or match for third place on October 27.
Non-Conference Success
• Dating back to its 10-0 win over Mount St. Mary's in 2008, Maryland is unbeaten in its last 29 matches vs. non-ACC opponents. The Terps have outscored its non-conference opposition 88-14 in those 29 matches.
• The Terps recorded 20 straight wins over non-ACC foes before tying Georgetown, 1-1, in second round of the NCAA tournament in 2010. Maryland is now 26-0-3 in its last 29 non-conference games after opening 2011 with wins over No. 22 Minnesota, Loyola, Navy, St. Louis, Cornell and American and tying No. 1 Stanford and James Madison.
100 And Counting At Ludwig Field
• The Terps won their 100th match at Ludwig Field with a 6-0 victory over Iona on Aug. 20, 2010. Since its opening in 1995, Ludwig Field has proved to be a tremendous home-field advantage for the Terps women's soccer team. All-time Maryland is 113-47-21 (.682) at Ludwig Field.
• Through the seasons, the Terps have had a knack for shutting teams out at Ludwig Field. Maryland has won 74 of its 113 victories (66.1%) at Ludwig Field via shutout. Add in the 12 0-0 ties the Terps have had at Ludwig Field and it totals 86 times that Maryland has shutout its opponent in 181 games (47.5%).
Shutout Streak Comes To An End
• Maryland's record-setting streak of shutouts came to an end in the Terrapins' 5-1 win over American on Spet. 7. Maryland held opponents scoreless for the first 634 minutes of the 2011 season. The six shutouts mark the first time in the program's 25-year history that Maryland has opened a season with six clean sheets.
