In nine of Maryland s 10 victories, the Terps have held their opponents under the doubledigit threshold. Dating back to last season, the Terps are 0-8 when failing to score double-digits. A TALE OFTWO HALVES Whether it be a slow start and a hot finish, or a quick start before cooling off, the Terps have been completely different teams in halves of the same games this season. Against Duke and Old Dominion, Maryland managed just one goal first half goal in each game. However, the Terps outscored their opponents 18-7 in the final 30 minutes. Maryland had just six goals against Brown before exploding for 14 goals in the second frame. Against Richmond, Maryland raced out and scored 10 goals in the first half, but managed just four goals the rest of the way. The Terps fell behind 7-3 against George Mason, but exploded for six goals in the second half and got the game-winner in overtime for the win. At the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, the Terps put together a great first half against Penn State (10 goals) and a great second half against Ohio State (nine goals). However, in the other halves of those games, the Terps managed just two goals against PSU and four against OSU. Maryland scored six in the first half against Georgetown, but only scored two in the second half and was held scoreless over the game s final 23 minutes. The Terps put together back-to-back complete offensive games on the road at North Carolina and at home against Syracuse. Generally, the Terps seem to be a second half team, outscoring opponents in the final 30 minutes. PLAYINGQUARTERS The final 15 minutes of the first half (the unofficial second quarter ) of the game proved to be the difference in Maryland s first game against UVa. The Hoos pivotal 7-1 run broke a 1-1 tie to a 8-2 halftime advantage for UVa. CAREERYEARS Several Terps are having the best years of their careers this season.
