ANN ARBOR, MI – The No. 4 Maryland women's lacrosse team earned the outright Big Ten Regular Season Championship with a 13-8 win at No. 21 Michigan Saturday. 
 
This marks Maryland's sixth outright Big Ten title in seven seasons in the league. The Terps finish the regular season at 15-1 (6-0 in Big Ten play) and will be the No. 1 seed in next week's Big Ten Tournament at Rutgers. Maryland will play No. 4 seed Johns Hopkins on Friday, May 6 at 5:30 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.
 
"Credit to Michigan, they play very hard," said head coach Cathy Reese. "Proud of our group for coming away with the win against a really tough team. Emily Sterling and our defense played great and offensively the scoring was pretty spread out and we had a lot of different people contribute. Eloise Clevenger did a great job around the crease. Feels great to finish Big Ten play undefeated, proud of our team and staff.
 
Eloise Clevenger tallied a career-best four goals and six points to lead the Maryland offense that also got four points from Libby May (two goals, two assists) and three points from Aurora Cordingley (two goals, one assist).
 
Emily Sterling was spectacular in cage once again, recording 12 saves to only eight goals allowed, a .600 save percentage, her seventh straight game with over a 50-percent save percentage and fifth time in the last six games she's had double digit saves. Sterling now has a .567 save percentage on the season to lead the nation.
