Senior Katie Princiotto recorded a career-high five goals to lead the No. 2 Maryland women's lacrosse team to a 16-8 win against No. 15 Johns Hopkins on March 17 at Homewood Field. Classmate Kelly Kasper added a goal and four assists to go along with four draw controls.

Senior Dana Dobbie chipped in with a hat trick while sophomore Ali Perkins tied her career high with three assists that all came in the first half. Senior Allie Buote was credited with seven saves in the win.

Maryland jumped out to a huge lead for the second-straight game as it started the afternoon with an 8-1 run. The Terps' offense worked efficiently while the defense kept the Blue Jays out of sync, only allowing three goals in the first half with two of them coming on free positions.

The first two goals came 14 seconds apart as Princiotto and senior Casey Magor used identical moves from the right side of the cage, wrapping shots past the goalie in the third minute.

Sophomore Caitlyn McFadden added the third goal when Kasper found her open in front of the cage. Kasper then assisted on Maryland's fourth goal after she was taken down making a run towards goal. On the ensuing free position, Kasper dished to Princiotto to her left who scored the goal.
