Five former Maryland women’s lacrosse players took the field in Saturday’s WLL matchup between the Maryland Charm and the New York Charging, with several Terps’ alumni playing key roles in the Charm’s 16-15 victory.
Erica Evans bagged a pair of first-quarter goals in the midst of the 16-goal scoring barrage. But the two-way midfielder was also influential in gaining extra possessions, totaling four ground balls and causing a turnover.
Already
with a goal to her name, Grace Griffin called her own number late in the third quarter to halt the Charging’s momentum — her second goal of the game restored the Charm’s advantage and snapped a three-goal scoring run.
Despite the high-scoring affair, Maryland’s defensive tandem of Maddy Sterling and Abby Bosco still made their presence felt. The duo combined for four ground balls and three caused turnovers, anchoring a unit that conceded just one fourth-quarter goal.
While Kori Edmondson was the lone Terp alumni representing the Charging, she found herself onto the scoresheet in the second quarter. Edmondson’s standout rookie campaign continued with her fourth goal of the season in just three games.
