ANN ARBOR, MI — The No. 3 Terps suffered just their second loss of the season on the road to No. 11 Michigan on Thursday night. An early run from the Wolverines lifted them to a 15-4 win as Maryland fell to 13-2 (5-2 Big Ten) on the season.

Lauren LaPointe reached the 50 goal mark in 2026 with her two-goal performance against the Wolverines. Keeley Block tallied a pair of assists, but Michigan grabbed its first-ever win over Maryland on Thursday night.
