Facing fatigue after a win over Georgetown, the No. 3 Terps escaped Philadelphia with a 17-15 victory over St. Joseph's despite a defensive struggle. Maryland allowed 42 shots, their highest total in six years, but high-efficiency scoring kept them above water.
The Terps utilized a vertical offense in the first half, with eight different players finding the net. JJ Suriano provided a brick-wall effort in goal, making seven saves, as captain pair Jordyn Lipkin and Kori Edmondson extended the lead in the second quarter.
