COLUMBUS, Ohio - The 16th-ranked Ohio State (7-2) women's lacrosse team
suffered a 10-5 loss to the unbeaten and second ranked Maryland Terrapins
(10-0) Sunday afternoon in the final game of the Big Ten/ACC Challange held
at the Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Playing in a strong breeze with a
temperature of 33 degrees (-4 wind chill) Maryland scored the first five
goals of the game and never allowed the Buckeyes to come closer than two
(6-4, 7-5) in the contest. Maryland's 10-0 start for the season marks the
ninth time the Terrapins have started the season 10-0. In the first game
Sunday, No. 11 Penn State defeated No. 9 North Carolina, 9-7.
Maryland wasted little time in scoring just 46 second into the game on a
Sonia Judd goal, assisted by Kristie Leggio. Judd scored again at 2:12 to
make it 2-0. At 4:27, Leggio scored on an assist from Acacia Walker.
Terrapin goals by Jessica Dorney (12:49) and Kelly Coppedge (15:39) gave
Maryland a 5-0 lead. Ohio State's Regina Oliver (So., Pottstown, Pa.) put
the Buckeyes on the scoreboard with a goal at 16:54. Oliver scored again at
22:01 with an assist from Tracey Bounds (Sr., Ellicott City, Md.) to cut the
Maryland lead to 5-2. The Terrapins closed out the first half with a Walker
goal at 22:59 to go at halftime leading 6-2.
Ohio State opened the second half with Oliver's third goal at 31:55. A free
position attempt by Caroline Weatherill (Jr., Malvern, Pa.) at 33:18 cut the
Terrapin lead to 6-4. Maryland made it 7-4 with a goal by Lauren Warren at
45:41. Ohio State countered that at 46:25 with a goal by Shannon Wilson
(Sr., Sherkston, Ontario), making it 7-5. Maryland scored three consecutive
goals to build a 10-5 lead for the final margin. Annie Collins started the
run, scoring at 54:00. Just 59 seconds later, Coppedge scored (54:59) her
second goal of the game on an assist from Judd. Walker closed out the
scoring in the game with her second goal at 57:53, assisted by Leggio.
