Tri-captain Claudia Asano started the momentum by netting a second goal for the Crimson in the first five minutes of the half.

With some assertive moves from Brown and sophomore midfielder Jen Lee, the Crimson managed to set up a few promising offensive plays.

"In the second half we went out harder and we were more aggressive," said Brown. " I mean we really had nothing to lose and we just started playing a lot more together."

But the scoring drought remained as the Crimson's lack of confidence continued to result in dropped passes and shaky stickhandling.

At the 22:15 mark, Maryland sophomore Meghan McNamara picked up on a Crimson defender's bobble in front of the net and turned to score the first Terrapin goal of the second half.

Responding to the Crimson's lapse in concentration, Asano maintained the pressure against Maryland with some outstanding checking for the Crimson defense.

With the Crimson putting up more of a fight, the Terrapins only netted six in the second half. Stopping a number of powerful offensive plays, they managed to keep Maryland out of the cage for the final nine minutes of play.

Finally with less then two minutes remaining in the game, freshman Gretchen Puttkamer put in the third and final Crimson goal off an assist from freshman Eliza Dick.
