MM 12.9: Maryland women's lacrosse releases its 2022 schedule

Maryland women’s lacrosse officially revealed its schedule for the 2022 season.

The Terps will have a difficult season ahead of them even though they are returning nine of their 12 starters from a year ago. This season’s schedule will feature eight home games as well as seven games against teams that finished 2021 in the IWLCA top-25.

Maryland’s 2022 campaign will begin with two straight road matchups against Saint Joseph’s and Virginia. Then in the middle of the season, the Terps’ most notable matchups will be against No. 4 Northwestern, No. 7 Florida, No. 12 James Madison and No. 14 Rutgers.

Maryland will have a 16-game regular season before getting set for the Big Ten tournament that will go from May 6-8.

The Terps have another season of high expectations ahead of them. Head coach Cathy Reese is bringing in the country’s No. 2-ranked freshman class and five impactful transfers, including All-Americans Aurora Cordingley and Abby Bosco, who are coming over from Johns Hopkins and Penn, respectively.
