WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Senior All-American attacker Sheehan Stanwick (Baltimore, Md./Notre Dame Prep) scored four goals and two assists for #5 Georgetown University, but it was not enough as #1 Maryland handed the Hoyas a 13-9 loss in women's lacrosse action today on Kehoe Field. Senior All-American midfielder Jen Adams led Maryland with six goals and four assists on the day. Georgetown falls to 8-2 overall with the loss, while Maryland remains undefeated at 11-0.

Sheehan Stanwick put the Hoyas on the scoreboard first when she found the back of the net at 24:03. Adams scored the Terps' first goal off a free position shot 29 seconds later to knot the score at 1-1. Back-to-back goals by Maryland junior attack Courtney Hobbs and senior attack Allison Comito give the Terrapins a two point lead (3-1) with 15:05 left in the first period. Adams was credited with the assist on Comito's goal. Sheehan Stanwick capitalized on a free position shot at the 14:09 mark to pull within one, and junior All-American attack Erin Elbe (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) tied the score one minute and 21 seconds later at 3-3. It would be the Hoyas' last score in the first period. Comito fed Adams for the score at 7:57 to go up 4-3. Adams then returned the favor when she assisted on Comito's goal with just 11.3 second left on the clock before the half. Maryland took a 5-3 lead into the halftime.

Senior midfielder Quinn Carney opened the second period scoring after picking up a pass from Comito to make the score 6-3 with 27:09 on the clock. Adams made it 7-3 with an unassisted goal at 23:55. Sophomore Wick Stanwick (Baltimore, Md./Notre Dame Prep) made the most of a free position shot at 22:41 to give the Hoyas' their first goal of the second half, but Hobbs responded 41 seconds later off an assist by Adams to give Maryland a 8-4 lead, and Adams made it 9-4 at 20:43 with an unassisted goal. The Stanwick sisters combined for the next GU goal at 19:53, with Wick netting the goal and Sheehan picking up the assist. Georgetown then reeled off two straight goals, the first at 19:01 by Elbe and the second at 15:44 by Sheehan Stanwick on a shovel shot. Adams bumped Maryland's lead up to 10-7 at 8:32, but Elbe answered to make the score 10-8. The Terrapins struck for two straight goals to push the UM lead to four (12-8). Sheehan Stanwick tallied the Hoyas' last goal of the day with 1:25 to go in the game. It was Adams who closed out the contest with an unassisted goal with just 27.8 seconds remaining make the final score 13-9 in favor of the Terps.

Despite playing with an injury, senior All-American goalie Bowen Holden (Lincoln, Mass./Lincoln-Sudbury) turned away five Terrapin shots on the afternoon while allowing 12 goals. Junior goalkeeper Chandler Vicchio (Baltimore, Md./Mount de Sales Academy) came in to relieve Holden at the 4:07 mark of the second period and posted two saves while allowing one goal. Sophomore netminder Alexis Venechanos rejected seven GU shots in the game while giving up nine goals.
