No. 11 Maryland Rolls Michigan State 2-0 in Road Conference Win

The Terps outshot MSU 25-6 in their Sunday win.

EAST LANSING, MI – Despite its 25 total shots, defense was king for No. 11 Maryland (7-4, 3-1 Big Ten) on Sunday as the Terps picked up their first road conference win over Michigan State (3-8, 0-4 Big Ten). Maryland suffocated the Spartan offense, limiting them to just six shots while protecting the Terps' early lead.

The Terps hit the ground running on Sunday, hitting MSU with a barrage of shots on corner attempts in the opening minutes. After just two minutes of action, Maryland had tallied six shots (three on goal) on three penalty corner attempts. 

Jordyn Hollamon broke through in the 11th minute on her fifth goal of the year after a beautiful feed from Maci Bradford, who picked up her sixth assist of the season.  The Terps recorded each of the day's first 17 shots and the first 10 corners in a dominant start. Alyssa Klebasko had an easy day in net for the Terps, facing only six shots in her 15th shutout of her career. 

Ella Gaitan provided Maryland with an insurance goal in the 55th minute, netting her first goal of the season as AJ Eyre picked up her first assist. Gaitan tipped Eyre's shot out front to redirect it and put Maryland in line for its seventh win of the season. How it Happened:
