Megan Whittle (McDonogh) scored four goals as the No. 1 Maryland women's lacrosse team (3-0) beat No. 5 host North Carolina, 8-7, on Saturday.

 “I think today was quite a defensive battle on both sides,” Maryland coach Cathy Reese said. “I thought our defense played well. I think we had a great first half; Megan Taylor did a great job in goal for us today and made some great saves. Carolina's defense played well and made it hard for us to find looks on goal. I think that's why we saw a low-scoring game from two of the most powerful offenses.”

 Three of Whittle's goals came in the second half as the Tar Heels (3-2) challenged the Terps and tied the game three times. Taylor Cummings (McDonogh) added two goals while Caroline Steele (Severn) and Kacie Longo (South River) each scored once.

 In her second career start, freshman Taylor (Glenelg) made eight saves and scooped one ground ball.
