No. 10 Maryland girls’s lacrosse attacker Eloise Clevenger couldn’t be stopped in its matchup in opposition to No. 17 Princeton.
Beginning early within the first quarter when she dished out a pair of assists to net-front cutters, Clevenger was on fireplace from the get-go. Within the second quarter, she virtually single-handedly propelled Maryland to a 12-5 halftime lead with a bevy of targets and a few extra assists. Clevenger’s three targets and 4 assists on the evening led a strong displaying from the Terps as they took down Princeton, 15-11, on Wednesday evening in School Park.
The sport started with a draw management win by Maryland. After working the ball round as regular, the Tigers finally fouled Maryland. The Terps didn’t waste the chance, as attacker Hannah Leubecker made a fast dodge to the cage and fired a outstanding shot to offer Maryland its first lead of the sport.
Princeton didn’t take lengthy to reply to Maryland’s punch, ready patiently and isolating attackers on the offensive finish. Kari Buonanno struck first for the Tigers, scoring in opposition to tightly contested protection by Abby Bosco.
Libby Might continued the scoring for the Terps shortly after, capitalizing after making a swift minimize to the cage. Clevenger, Maryland’s chief in assists, made no mistake to find the open Might for the go-ahead purpose.
The following jiffy have been crammed with turnovers and wonderful saves from each packages. Though robust, bodily protection was performed by each groups, fouls have been plentiful. Whereas Princeton didn’t safe its free place alternative, Might cashed in on her try for Maryland.
Within the subsequent couple of minutes that adopted, midfielder Shaylan Ahearn scored for Maryland, with the helper coming from Clevenger from her place behind the opposition’s internet.
The primary body ended with Princeton taking among the momentum. Attacker Jami MacDonald even scored a reasonably behind-the-back purpose. Heading into the second quarter, Maryland held a 6-4 lead.
The Terps opened the second quarter with certainly one of their quickest scores to open 1 / 4 all season. Simply 18 seconds in, Clevenger fired a missile to the center of the crease space, and Leubecker used her fast launch to attain earlier than the Tigers’ goalkeeper may even react.
A couple of minute later, Might scored on her patented quick-release shot to increase the lead even additional. Then, freshman standout Kori Edmondson’s two straight targets pressured Princeton to name a timeout. In simply the primary 5 minutes of the second quarter, Maryland scored 5 targets.
Maryland’s offense was merely working completely. When it was given free place alternatives, it cashed in. When the Tigers’ protection pressed it, it made fast passes, which just about at all times led to a net-front purpose. The Terps’ offense remoted too, and Edmondson proved that sort of scheme may work on her first rating. Within the first 20 minutes of play, Clevenger had 4 targets and one help and Might had 4 scores.
The Terrapin protection was smothering. With Princeton already having some bother with drops, Maryland accentuated its points by forcing turnovers and passes that weren’t open. With their tightly contested man-to-man protection, the Terps left little room for any attacker to function.
At halftime, the Terrapins led the Tigers by a rating of 12-5.
The third body commenced with a Princeton draw management and subsequent Emily Sterling save. Nonetheless, because the Terps couldn’t rating on their first possession, the Tigers rapidly received the ball again and capitalized on a free place shot.
5 minutes later, Princeton scored as soon as extra. It marked its second in a row. Maryland had just a few possibilities to attain itself throughout that point, however head coach Cathy Reese opted to deploy among the backups so they might get enjoying time.
After Princeton’s second of the quarter, Reese subbed the starters again in and Might began proper the place she left off, netting an unassisted rating. It was her fifth of the evening.
Clevenger scored late within the quarter, which ended up being her seventh level of the affair. It gave the Terps a lift of momentum heading into the fourth quarter in a sport they already led large. After three frames, Maryland was on high, 14-7.
Princeton opened the fourth-quarter scoring about three minutes in to chop the Maryland result in six. Nonetheless, Might answered again comparatively rapidly, scoring her sixth purpose of the match.
However Princeton wasn’t happening with out a struggle. It notched two straight free place targets to make it a 15-10 sport with rather less than eight minutes remaining.
After the Terps turned the ball over on a sloppy move, Princeton made them pay on the opposite finish and minimize the lead all the way down to 4. Maryland managed to hold on, although, and locked down on protection for the final six-plus minutes.
Three issues to know
1. The offense was excellent. Sure, the Terps had 16 turnovers. And even with that, Maryland netted 15 targets. What’s extra vital is that the celebs performed like stars Wednesday. Clevenger headlined the scoring, notching three targets and 4 assists. Might, the team-leading purpose scorer, had six. Edmondson, who has been the brightest spot on the roster this season, had two targets.
Wanting additional than the statistics, the Terps managed the move of the sport. It by no means felt as if they have been dashing their offense, and every move was made with conviction and belief.
2. Draw management battle. Heading into the match, it was anticipated that Maryland would crush Princeton in draw management wins, given how poorly the Tigers have carried out on them and the abundance of riches the Terps have within the circle. Nonetheless, it was a lot nearer than anybody may’ve anticipated, as Maryland solely received 15 of 30 draw controls.
In some methods, it speaks to how nicely the protection operated, on condition that Princeton was granted extra possibilities. It’s most certainly an anomaly, and easily a nitpick at what was an distinctive evening of lacrosse for the Terrapins.
3. Encouraging enchancment. Following its losses to James Madison and Denver, Maryland has seen appreciable enchancment and confidence each in its offense and protection. The times are over the place the Terps hand over 5 – 6 purpose runs to obviously overmatched opponents.
At all times composed, Maryland has now taken early leads over every staff it has performed, and it has saved these leads. Because the Denver loss, the Terps have outscored their opponents 93-45 and look to be a formidable risk. If Maryland have been to play a staff resembling Syracuse once more — a sport during which the Terps misplaced 20-11 — count on the rating to be a lot nearer.

Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News
![Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News Maryland issues a new suicide prevention action plan for schools, families – WTOP News](https://wtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/SAD_GIRL.GettyImages-1033774340-e1705449585875.jpg)
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in Maryland. That’s according to a new suicide prevention action plan produced through the state’s Department of Health.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in Maryland. That’s according to a new suicide prevention action plan produced through the state’s Department of Health.
Scott Poland, the director of the Office of Suicide and Violence Prevention at Nova Southeastern University College of Psychology, talked to WTOP about the action plan he authored with his wife, Donna, who is a career educator.
The “Maryland Action Plan to Prevent Suicide in K-12 Schools” serves as a reference guide to school administrators and the community, and was developed in cooperation with the state health department’s Office of Suicide Prevention.
Poland said one thing that surprises people is that children as young as 8 years old may consider taking their own lives.
“I hear from school personnel all around the country (asking if they) have to take it seriously (if a fourth or fifth grader is talking about suicide). And the answer is absolutely yes,” Poland said.
Among the data points in the action plan is a survey of students in the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey of 2021/2022.” According to that survey, 21% of high school students “seriously considered suicide” in the past year, and 27% of middle schoolers considered suicide at some point in their lives.
Poland said it’s important to talk about suicide with young people, and that the idea that talking about it might encourage a young person to consider suicide is a “myth.”
“When we actually bring it up, it gives someone a chance to unburden themselves, to realize that they’re not alone, that there are alternatives and that there is help available,” Poland said.
But he said young people are most susceptible to imitating suicidal behavior: “It is important that we not glorify the suicide victim.”
Instead, Poland said, the emphasis after a suicide should be on healing those affected and helping them find appropriate ways to deal with their emotions and mental health.
The plan released this week includes providing intervention action plans for a young person who may be considering suicide.
“Part of that, of course, is removing lethal means and developing a written safety plan with them,” he said.
Poland said that can include helping people understand “the importance of calling 988, doing things that can calm themselves down,” and reaching out to the nearest trusted adult.
People can reach the national resource for crisis response services and suicide prevention by dialing 988.
Poland said social media is “wreaking havoc” on children’s emotional well-being, often making them feel “not smart enough, not rich enough, not good enough.” Poland said he’s currently working with the state of South Dakota on developing tools to help “young people be a little more mindful and make better decisions about their screen time.”
Poland said parents can help — when it comes to the hours and hours that many people spend online — by modeling healthy amounts of screen time themselves. And he said adults need to think about how they introduce technology to their kids.
“We’re in too (much of) a hurry to give kids smartphones and 24-hour internet access,” Poland said.
“I really have to compliment Maryland,” Poland said, on coming up with the new plan.
Poland said Maryland does not have an especially high rate of suicide, but “I think we all recognize that losing one young person to suicide is one too many.”

Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland
![Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland Getting to know Michigan State football’s Week 2 opponent: Maryland](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4000,h_2250,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/GettyImages/mmsport/137/01j714ppf1xrvce2agzn.jpg)
Game two is coming up for Michigan State football as the Spartans hit the road for an early season Big Ten matchup against Maryland. The Terps have had MSU’s number in recent years, but the Spartans’ new-look team is ready to change that narrative this weekend.
Jonathan Smith and his staff have a lot to work on this week after a lackluster 16-10 win over Florida Atlantic, but we’ve become more than used to slow starts for MSU in their first game so it’s not time to panic just yet.
While the team wraps up their preparations for Maryland, let’s take a quick look at the Terps and see what we can learn about them before the big game on Saturday.
Maryland is off and running in their 2024 campaign and had an absolutely dominant week one performance. The Terps took on UConn at home and came away with an impressive 50-7 win. Sure UConn is an awful football program, but we saw how poorly Michigan State just did against a similar opponent.
Not only was the final score lopsided, but ever major statistical category was as well. Maryland doubled UConn in first downs and rushing yards, threw for nearly 400 passing yards and even won the turnover battle 3-0. The Terps also only had five penalties for 45 yards which is significantly better than MSU’s 12 for 140 yards against FAU.
Sure all of this took place against UConn, but it appears that Maryland is in a very good spot heading into this big week two matchup.
One thing that I thought would be a positive for Michigan State in this game is that Maryland is breaking in a new quarterback as well. The Terps’ quarterback, Billy Edwards Jr., went off against UConn and completed 20-of-27 passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns. He also is a capable runner and added 39 yards on the ground, so Michigan State will have its hands full on Saturday slowing him down.
The Terps don’t have one standout running back in the backfield, so that does benefit MSU. They do however have two solid backs in Roman Hemby and Nolan Ray who both ran for over 60 yards and one score each.
The one player however that Michigan State needs to pay the most attention to is wide receiver Tai Felton. He had one of the best Week 1 performances in the country as he recorded seven receptions for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Thankfully MSU’s defense and secondary looked much improved against FAU, so hopefully that carries over into this weekend’s matchup.
The opportunity in front of MSU on Saturday is massive. The Spartans are big underdogs in this matchup which they probably deserve, but a win would do wonders not just for the overall perception of the team but for their confidence moving forward.
I’ve got a strange feeling that we’re going to be very happy around 7 p.m. ET Saturday night.
