鈥淲e were two man down, kind of got a little messy there,鈥� . 鈥�… I grabbed [the ball] and recognized that they were in a 10-man ride, we have our calls, and I was taking space and then the goalie came out… and I saw the goal open and I decided to shoot and it went in.鈥澛�

The standout player of the game was senior attackman Jared Bernhardt who holds Maryland鈥檚 all-time career goal record. He led the team with six goals to extend his record to 170. Bernhardt has been a great force for the Terps especially over the past year. The team has not lost a game since February 2020 — making the Big Ten win their 11th straight victory.聽聽
The Terps remain perfect for this season with a 9-0 record. Next, the team will finish out the regular season with a game against Johns Hopkins on April 24 before the start of the 2021 Big Ten tournament during the first week of May.
