Final Stats

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The fourth-ranked Maryland field hockey team was edged at No. 7 Virginia, 3-2, after a late goal in the 55th minute by the Cavaliers. The Terps (7-2, 2-1 ACC), earned three penalty corners in the final minute, but the Hoos' defense broke up the plays.

Michelle Vittese of Virginia (10-2, 2-0) put the Cavaliers on the board 6:35 into the game to open the scoring. The Terps' Katie Gerzabek tied the match up in the 20th minute off a 2-on-1 with Jill Witmer.

After the game was tied at half, freshman Anna Dessoye gave Maryland a 2-1 lead in the 48th minute when Megan Frazer found her along the left side. UVA's Vittese tied it up six minutes later with a high shot.
