Taylor Cummings scored from Brooke Griffin four minutes later to make it 2-0. Taylor Hensh scored off a pass from Cummings with 20:35 to play and Kristen Lamon found the back of the net from Whittle with 15:16 to go to put the Terrapins up, 4-0.

Seekamp put Hofstra on the board with an unassisted goal, racing in on net from 40-yards and putting a shot past Maryland keeper Alex Fitzpatrick with 12:41 to play.
