Sophomore attacker Hannah Leubecker took to the eight-meter for No. 2 seed Maryland women’s lacrosse’s eighth such attempt with just five seconds remaining in the first half of play against No. 7 seed Michigan.
Her shot from the left side lacked velocity, but it trickled into the top right corner for Maryland’s 12th goal of the half. It marked a fitting finish to a dominant first half from the Terps, one in which they matched their goals per game average.
