Box Score COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Hannah Boss scored a career-high two goals and No. 9 Maryland came away with a statement win over No. 5 Iowa by a score of 4-1. The win marked the sixth straight for the Terps who improved to 13-3 overall and 5-1 in the Big Ten.

Maryland, who held a 3-0 lead going into the fourth quarter, also got goals from Nathalie Fiechter and Sammy Popper. Alyssa Klebasko made three saves.

The four goals the Terps scored are the most anyone has scored against the Hawkeyes since Oct. 29, 2017. The four goals also tie the most Maryland has ever scored against Iowa, equaling the four the team scored in 2016. 

The Terps put eight of their 10 shots on goal, holding an 8-4 advantage over the Hawkeyes (12-3, 3-3) in that category.
