Field hockey falls in disappointing showing

The Hens lost 4-0 to the Terrapins this afternoon in a jolting match that's sure to have frustrated the team. Granted, No. 1 Maryland is 16-0 this year so the loss puts the Hens in good company. The Terrapins toppled powerhouses such as Virginia, Princeton and Wake Forest earlier this season. But still, realistically, the loss have been a lot better for the Hens.

The Hens are a nationally ranked team, but the Terrapins were toying with them. Maryland out-shot Delaware 21-5. The Terrapins keeper only had to make one save. Terrapins Emma Thomas and Nicole Muracco each had four and five shots on goal, respectively.

The Hens have proven what they're capable of this year, and that's better than what we saw this afternoon. Luckily, the upcoming game against Towson on Friday should completely turn things around for the Hens.
