Box Score

WASHINGTON, DC – In a battle of top 10 teams, No. 7 Maryland (4-1) suffered their first defeat of the season to the hands of No. 1 Georgetown (5-0), 1-0. The Hoyas got on the board early as a goal in the sixth minute quickly put the Terps on their heels. Goalie Jamie Lowell remained under siege for the next 15 minutes of the game as Georgetown managed to put four more shots on him with two of them requiring saves. Maryland weathered the initial storm and began to punch back as Jacen Russell-Rowe fired the team's first shot on goal but it was saved by the Hoyas goalie. Towards the end of the first half the Terps began to buzz around the Georgetown net but a shot by Justin Gielen rang off the right post, preserving the lead for the Hoyas heading into halftime. The physical play carried over to the second half as both team's continued to fight for position. Head coach Sasho Cirovski tried to spark his offense by issuing several substitutions but it was to no avail as the Terps couldn't find the equalizer.

Lowell Stands Tall

Saturday was Jamie Lowell's turn to start in between the pipes for Maryland and despite giving up an early goal he also kept his team in the match.
Lowell faced 12 total shots in the first 45 minutes, the most any Terps goalie has faced in a half so far this season.
The Hoyas ended the game by putting 21 total shots on the Maryland net keeper but only managed to score the single goal thanks to Lowell's six saves.

Physical Play

The two team's combined for 25 fouls on the afternoon as both team's scratched and clawed for any advantage they could find.
A total of five yellow cards had to be issued with three being issued to Maryland.

Up Next

The Terps will return home for their first Big Ten action of the season as they'll take on the Michigan Wolverines at Ludwig Field on Friday night.
The last meeting between the two came in March where Maryland came away with a 2-1 win in Ann Arbor.
