College Park, Md. – No. 3 Maryland defeated Drexel, 6-2, in a non-conference game on Wednesday night at the Terrapins' Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex. The Terrapins outshout Drexel, 25-11, and had 11 penalty corners to the Dragons' two. The loss dropped Drexel 10-7 overall and 3-3 in conference play.
Maryland got on the board just over six minutes into the contest on a goal by Katie Gerzabek. Harriet Tribble directed the ball towards Gerzabek who tipped in the ball in from the left post for the lead, 1-0. At 20:14, Maryland's Megan Frazer carried the ball into the circle and unleashed a shot from the top of the circle to give the Terrapins a two-goal lead, 2-0. Gerzabek scored her second goal to put Maryland ahead by three, 3-0, at half.

DiDonato closed the gap to four, 5-1. Drexel gained momentum and continued to put pressure on Maryland's defense. Freshman Meghan Plank tipped the ball into the back of the cage from teammate Margaux Lourtie's pass. Drexel was down by three, 5-2, but Maryland's Lindsey Puckett secured the lead, 6-2, as the game clock game to an end.
