COLLEGE PARK, Md. (May 2) - The top-ranked Maryland Terrapins (18-1) finished
their 2000 regular season with a five-goal win over Temple (8-8), May 2, at Ludwig Field. Maryland was led by Allison Comito (Glen Head, N.Y.), who netted four goals, and Jen Adams (Marino, South Australia), who finished the day with seven points off five goals and
two assists. Kelly Ruch led Temple with two goals and two assists.
Maryland jumped out to a 3-0 lead with goals from Courtney Hobbs (West
Lakes, South Australia), Comito, and Christie Jenkins (Media, Pa.)
before Ruch netted Temple's first goal of the day. Maryland would add
eight more goals before the half from an array of Terrapins, including
ACC Player of the Year Adams, senior tri-captain Kristin Sommar (North
Wales, Pa.), and defender Tori Wellington (Chesnut Hill, Mass.) to take
an 11-4 advantage into halftime.
The Owls would put the clamp on the Maryland offense in the second half
after a goalie change that saw regular starter Iris Alvarado enter the
game for the first time all afternoon. Alvarado allowed just one goal, a
season low in a half by the No. 1 Terps, and finished the game with
nine saves in 30 minutes. For the Terps, four-year starter Alex Kahoe
(Villanova, Pa.) turned in another stellar performance, allowing only
seven goals in 60 minutes of action and compiling 11 saves on the day.
The game marked her eighth consecutive double-digit save effort.
The win over Temple signaled the end of the regular season for the
top-ranked Terrapins. Maryland, who is challenging for their sixth
consecutive NCAA title, awaits this Sunday's selection show to see who
its potential NCAA opponent will be. Temple heads to Amherst, Mass.,
this weekend for the Atlantic 10 Tournament, which begins on May 5 and
continues through May 6 at the University of Massachusetts. The Owls
currently own a 5-1 Atlantic 10 record.
