COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
What a difference a spring makes.
Head coach Brian Pensky and his women's soccer team have won their first five games of the spring season - yielding just one goal during that time.
Having trained since the beginning of February, the Terps finally had the opportunity to compete against someone other than themselves when they hosted American on April 3. Freshman Emily Maynard's two second-half goals, off assists from Nataly Arias and Kelly Rozumalski, paved the way to a 2-1 victory.
Ten days later, at the 11th Annual Kicks Against Breast Tournament in Germantown, Md., a pair of header goals from Rozumalski and Sarah Sample led the Terps to 1-0 victories over George Mason and Syracuse, respectively. Both goals came off corner kicks from Kaila Sciacia.
In the Terps most recent game, Maryland defeated Georgetown 2-0 behind two goals from freshman Maureen Dowling. Dowling's goals were assisted by Nataly Arias, Molly Dreska and Lauren Gamble.
This past Sunday, April 22, at Navy Dowling's tackle won back possession for the Terps and she quickly slotted a pass to Rozumalski, whose first touch put her behind the Navy defense. She then easily put away the first and only goal of the game in the 65th minute as Maryland defeated the Midshipmen 1-0.
Maryland returns to action this Friday, April 27, when it travels to VCU for a 7 p.m. start.
