THIS WEEK'S STORYLINES

Terps Hang Tough with #17 Rutgers

STAIER SHiNES

Senior Sydney Staier put together one of her most productive weeks as a Terrapin a few weeks back, scoring her first goal of her career against Ohio State on March 4. She followed it up with an assist to tie the game at one vs. Indiana on March 7.

The Maryland Terrapins play Indiana at Ludwig Field on March 7, 2021.
