ROSEMONT, Ill. –  Sophomore Linda Cobano scored four of No. 4 Maryland's six goals this week to be named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week.
 
Cobano led the Terrapins (9-1, 2-0 B1G) to two wins over top-20 wins. She scored twice in their 4-3 win in overtime over No. 10 Princeton and both goals in a 2-1 win at No. 18 Rutgers Saturday.
 
Against No. 10 Princeton Tuesday, she tied the game in the 20th minute when she deflected in a shot off a penalty corner. Twenty-seven seconds into the third quarter, she gave the Terps a 2-1 lead when she collected her own rebound and cracked a shot from the top of the circle.
 
Just 8:04 into the match at Rutgers, she deflected in a pass from Bodil Keus from outside the circle for the opening goal. Five minutes into the third quarter, she took a pass from Emma DeBerdine from the right side and scored to make it a two-goal lead for Maryland. Cobano is now the Terps' leading scorer with six goals this year.
 
Cobano is the second Terrapin to earn a Big Ten weekly honor this season. Noelle Frost was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 16.
 
Next, the Terrapins will stay on the road to take on No. 7 Northwestern (10-2, 3-0) Thursday at 3:30 p.m. ET in Evanston, Ill. The Terps-Wildcats game will be televised around the world on the Big Ten Network.
