COLLEGE PARK, MD - The No. 3 Maryland women's lacrosse team will look to continue its perfect start to the 2022 season as they host the No. 15 James Madison Dukes for Senior Day at the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex.

JAMES MADISON STORYLINES

SENIOR DAY

Maryland will honor its eight seniors and fifth years on Senior Day before the game. Torie Barretta, Sydney Bender, Abby Bosco, Aurora Cordingley, Grace Griffin, Julia Hoffman, Maddie McSally and Darby Welsh will all be recognized.
Barretta, Bender, Griffin, Hoffman, McSally and Welsh were all a part of the 2019 National Championship team and have won 43 games, including a 23-2 record in College Park.

RORY IS ROARING

Fifth-year transfer Aurora Cordingley is off to a record-breaking start as a Terp, currently leading the nation points per game (7.12 per game).
She also stands third in the nation in assists per game (3.12) and seventh in goals per game (4.00).
At her current pace, with 57 points through eight games, Cordingley is on track to break Maryland's single season points record (Jen Adams, 148, 2001).
The Canadian National Team member has at least five points in every game this season, has at least six points in six of the last seven games and is the first Terp with two double-digit point games in a season since Alex Aust in 2013, tallying 11 (six goals, five assists) against Villanova (3/13) and 10 (four goals, six assists) against No. 7 Florida (2/26),
Cordingley has been named the IWLCA National Offensive Player twice this season (March 1 & March 15), the first Terp to win two national weekly awards since Tewaaraton winner Megan Taylor in 2019 and has won four of five Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors, the most by a Terp in a single season since Taylor Cummings in 2015.

TEWAARATON TERPS

A trio of fifth-years: Abby Bosco, Aurora Cordingley and Grace Griffin, and junior Hannah Leubecker were all named to the Tewaaraton Watch List last week, which features the top 51 players in the sport of women's lacrosse.
This is the third-straight year that Griffin has been named to the watch list and last year was one of the final 25 nominees for the most prestigious award in lacrosse. Leubecker and Cordingley (Johns Hopkins) were also on the watch list last season. This is Bosco's (Penn) first ever watch list selection.
Maryland has won eight of the last 11 Tewaaraton awards, with Megan Taylor becoming the first goalie in lacrosse history to win the award in 2019.
The Terps have had a finalist for the award in 14 straight seasons in which the Tewaaraton has been been awarded and every season under head coach Cathy Reese. Last season, Lizzie Colson earned finalist honors after a season in which she was named the IWLCA National Defender of the Year.

sterling saves

Goalie Emily Sterling has been a brick wall in net this season, currently standing third in the country in goals against average (7.84) and fifth in the country in save percentage (.524).
Over the last five games, Sterling is saving 57-percent of shots, tallying 49 saves to only 37 goals allowed, an incredible 6.82 goals against average.

home dominance

The Terps are 156-4 at home under head coach Cathy Reese, with eight undefeated home campaigns in the last nine seasons (2013, '14, '15, '16, '17, '18, '19 & 21).
Maryland is 5-0 at home this season, winning four by double digits.

SERIES HISTORY

The Terps lead the all-time series against James Madison, 42-3, and has won 12 in a row against the Dukes.
This will be the Terps and Dukes first meeting since 2019, when Maryland defeated James Madison, 18-5. Grace Griffin tallied three goals in the win.
Maryland and James Madison have won two of the last three national championships, with the Terps winning in 2019 and the Dukes winning in 2018.
