COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Maryland women's soccer team recorded three victories against the east coast's top club teams in a home spring tournament held at Ludwig Field last Saturday. Maryland defeated the Stars of Mass, 2-0, the Bethesda Dragons, 2-1 and the HBC Fury from Long Island, 1-0.
"I thought we played very well," said head coach Shannon Higgins-Cirovski. "I was very pleased with how consistent our play was throughout the day. These were three of the top club teams in the east and I think we showed how well we can compete."
Katie Ludwig and Melissa Anderson scored for the Terps in the opening game, 2-0 win over the Stars of Mass from the Bay State.
That was followed by a 2-1 victory against the Bethesda Dragons in which the Terps got goals from Audra Poulin and Kimmy Francis. The lone goal allowed by the Terps came from a future Terp as Ali Andrezjewski scored for Bethesda with 30 seconds left in the game.
Maryland finished out the day with a 1-0 victory over the HBC Fury of Long Island as Ludwig scored her second goal of the day.
