• Maryland was the only team to go 2-0 in the 2025 Terrapin Invitational.
• The Terps are 22-2 since 2013 in the Terrapin Invitational.

• "I think it's patience, but I think it's also staying entertained. This is the game. All you've got to do is keep balls out and outscore by one and that'll be the outcome. It couldn't have happened at a better time."
• "I applaud Saint Joseph's. That is a really good field hockey team. They're speed in the midfield was perhaps a little bit more than ours, but I thought we handled that really well. That could have been very dangerous and it wasn't."

• "This goal was super important, especially the way I scored off a corner, off a drag. We've been working a lot on our APCs. That's an area we need to get better at. It was just awesome. You play for minutes like that, so it was a really good feeling"
• "We were really trying to build energy off getting those late scoring opportunities to begin with. In the end, it worked out. Just keep knocking on the door until it opens. That was our mentality for that." 

• "We were really sound defensively. We knew they were a fast team, but I think we did a good job setting up quickly, organizing, marking players and ultimately shutting it down."
• "I think confidence is contagious. I think it starts in the back and works its way up the field. We never give up. Even though it's late in the game, we're going to fight until that last second and that was evident today."

• 6: Maryland improves to 6-0 all-time over the Hawks. 
• 6: The Terps have won their last six regular season matches in College Park, dating back to last season.
• 13: Klebasko posted her 13th-career shutout. 
• 22: Maryland improves 22-2 in the Terrapin Invitational since 2013.

• Maryland stays in College Park to host No. 17 Penn State on Sept. 19. The match will start at 5 PM and air on B1G+.
