5/14/2022 3:44:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – No. 13 Duke (16-3) is set to take on No. 2 Maryland (17-1) Sunday afternoon in NCAA Tournament second round action. Opening draw is slated for 1 p.m., on ESPN+.
OPENING DRAW
Duke and Maryland meet for the 30th time in program history as the Terrapins hold a 19-10 lead in the all-time series. These squads meet for the second consecutive season in the second round. Duke captured a 13-12 victory in Durham last May. Should Duke advance, the Blue Devils will be primed for their 17th quarterfinal appearance in school history, all under the helm of head coach Kerstin Kimel.
SCOUTING THE TERRAPINS
The Terrapins enter Sunday's contest as the No. 2 team in the nation with a 17-1 overall record. Their lone loss came to then-No. 15 James Madison (13-8) in March. Maryland is led by 2022 Tewaaraton finalist Aurora Cordingley with 111 season points off of 62 goals and 49 assists. She is fourth nationally with 6.17 points per game. Hannah Leubecker (62 pts.), Libby May (62 pts.) and Eloise Clevenger (53 pts.) round out Maryland's top scorers. Abby Bosco leads the team with 55 ground balls, 78 draw controls and 2 caused turnovers. Emily Sterling has played in all 18 games with nearly 1,000 minutes of action. She owns a 7.52 GAA and a .552 save percentage as the nation's leader in save percentage and second in GAA.
LAST TIME WE MET
Duke and Maryland meet for the 30th time in program history as the Terrapins hold a 19-10 lead in the all-time series. The two squads last met May 16, 2021 in the NCAA second round as Duke captured a 13-12 victory in Durham to advance to the quarterfinal. Katie DeSimone tallied four goals while Sophia LeRose registered 11 saves in goal, including the potential Maryland tying goal.
DUKE IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT
Duke makes its 21st NCAA Tournament appearance and its second consecutive. The Blue Devils own a 27-20 overall record on the big stage that includes 16 quarterfinal and seven semifinal appearances. Under the direction of head coach Kerstin Kimel, the program is 16-3 in first-round play, having won 13 consecutive first-round matchups. Duke last made the semifinals in 2015 and owns a 13-game win streak in first-round games. The Blue Devils have reached the quarterfinals in 12 of their past 13 appearances and the semifinals in six of their past 13.
DEEP ROOTS IN MARYLAND
Head coach Kerstin Kimel and assistant coach Brooke Griffin both played lacrosse at Maryland and had great success. Kimel helped lead the Terrapins to four consecutive national semifinal appearances and the 1992 National Championship. Kimel was a two-time All-America selection and the 1993 NCAA National Defensive Player of the Year, appearing in Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd." Griffin had an outstanding career at Maryland where she twice earned first team All-America laurels from the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) and was the Big Ten Attack Player of the Year and a Tewaaraton Award nominee as a senior. Griffin led the Terrapins to back-to-back national titles, serving as a team captain on the 2014 and 2015 championship squads. She graduated ranked fifth in program history in career goals (197) and tied for sixth in career points (279). Griffin's sister, Brindi, is a fifth year senior for the Terps.
