♪ [ ] ha cal l th woma knows ri women's across match up two of the best programs in the country. let's go to the starting lineup for the university of maryland. mary jordan will be in goal and we will go with britney and sarah mollison and courtney lubbe and johnson three pretty good players and defense karissa taylor and matt and emily szelest, she is a senior.

also on the attack ali deluca coming up we'll see a lot of her number 10 from hillsboro new jersey. emily szel

player to get open and run towards them.

number 20 emma spiro got a pass from ali deluca, ali deluca ran across, she set up a clean and that whole lane was left wide only. she did a real nice job, beautiful shot. >> mary jordan. .. good play right there for emma spiro, penn strikes first and we'll see how they go a hey. maryland was down 8-4 and they have to come back and like you said it is very difficult to make it happen. here is the draw. the first one was won by maryland. the foul will be the maryland ball. it looks like repo suggestioned -- looks like it is repo suggestioned. >> then here after the draw it will be a maryland ball, here from the first half from

philadelphia. >> they have been known to get very physical. maryland likes to play a physical game. you can get banged up out here. >> they are talking about some of the playoff fence sufficiently, -- offensively, it is pretty darn good >> university of penn is doing well and they are number one in the country and maryland number 3. >> she passes it behind the cage and well she has it now behind the net from maryland with a nice pass and shot through the net by karri ellen johnson. >> here is what we are talking about defense selfly. she has two of the top three in terms of defense in the country tonight. >> both showing with goals

allowed this entire season number one and number two in the country. >> they are passing it up top. now a tie for caitlyn mcfadden. emma spiro just scored the first quakers goal and they are 1-0 and 23-35 remaining. brittany jones now in for sarah mollison. you can see the quick necessary that maryland moves the ball -- quickness that maryland moves the ball. they are very slow and deliberate and maryland is moving at a different speed but it has not work out to their advantage. >> that was a bad pass by caitlyn mcfadden. a forced error on her part. she has to show a little more

patient. they -- are trying to make that good quality shot. >> a good defensive play and carolyn has it knocked away. sarah mollison got it knocked away. loose ball and foul on penn. nobody is going to get it here. >> the foul was actually on maryland. that was a great defensive play by barb seaman. >> yes, you are right. mary jordan the junior glulia giordano, the junior from

maryland and franklin field, mike corey and jack, maryland number two in the country coming off a 12-10 win and penn coming off a win as well against cornell 15-6. and 8-1 on the year losing a handle at that time and now a maryland ball. >> emma spiro will pose a maryland ball and that was an enforced error something penn cannot afford to do against the stats maryland athletic team. maryland wants to create as many turnovers and they want to play that transition game up and down the field. >> how much are they kind of working on right now to kind of feel what they are doing in terms of offensive steps, when would they change it up a bit.

what kind of differences do you see as the game progresses? >> i think you want to see what penn wants to do defensively and what maryland wants to do offensively. in the first half maryland was playing a lot trying to get cutters from behind. >> right now the ball is former land -- for maryland. here is caitlyn mcfadden. second on the team. >> beginning a lot of different rotations. >> karri ellen johnson up height once again and katie schwarzmann, good move. she is going to take a shot, she does, high and it will stay

with maryland so they need to get a couple of shots on goal. they have not had many opportunity here. >> that was a good shot by sarah mollison. she was in close and needed to get it on cage. >> here she is, kind of point blank looking for the cutter but not there. caitlyn mcfadden, nice shoots and that was wide as well and it will stay here with maryland. >> nice side on shot but just couldn't get it on goal by caitlyn mcfadden. >> brittany jones, saves. we will have a foul here on maryland. you you talked about maryland work on the offensive game and sometimes they like to have that which is a various group of people out there. like you said it is all moving

around. it is not one or two people they have in that possession. >> no they are all part of that offence. the players off the ball are just as important as the players with the ball. they have a copel of -- couple of good shots. under short naturally they -- unfortunately they didn't capitalize on them. >> like you said, maryland returned all of their starters from last year and had some amazing fresh menace well -- fresh men as well. you you will have to wait and see what happens there. >> not only that but you have to have the experience. the coach has the perk person -- experience if they get worn out. >> they give it up to her teammate and maryland will want to take a little bit of time as

we have under 18 minutes to go and leading 1-0 on a goal from emma spiro a senior middlefielder, her 8th of the season and we are almost halfway through the first half of action still controlling it >> mary jordan didn't start -- the rebound is a score put in by katie schwarzmann. >> nice handle by katie schwarzmann off the post. she did a nice job to handle -- to control of ball. we will take a look at it when we return. we return. we were tied

>> jack: nice jobs, good patients and they put it away. >> how about emily thinking she could get that rebound herself and not playing in her favor. as you look at katie schwarzmann having an outstanding season great goal on the rebound her 19th of the year. she is the player of -- of the week. she did a nice job with a give and go. >> mike: karri ellen johnson hit the post an katie

schwarzmann came up -- and katie schw

merrifield had the possession made a nice pass, one timer.

but karri ellen johnson and maryland showing a lot of patience on the end. she created a free possession former land and any time you can create a free position in the 8-meter and 12-meter, it is a great opportunity for your team. you can get a quality shot to score a goal. >> mike: it is a great point jack. johnson now with her 32nd goal of year leads of team former land and now maryland -- for maryland and now maryland has the lead 4-1. once again karri ellen johnson has done it all so far tonight for maryland. she does it again against erin brennan. they will control it here and

we are coming up at the halfway point. >> jack: another point, the girls were allowed to move before the whistle was blown so we saw penn come up with that 50 / 50 ground ball. >> mike: she is up high and ali deluca goes behind the cage to emily szelest. one goal for help help. >> jack: i don't know if you notice this mike, but they have to get the cutters to come through and maryland is going isolation from atop to the open player throwing and dumping.

>> mike: courtney lubbe has it again and let's see what they get in front. penn scored the two first of the game emma spiro had it and maryland had it and karri ellen johnson on the feed from laura merrifield but it is down 2-1 maryland. >> jack: this has actually been a very well played game thus far. we have not seen a lot of 13 officer. >> mike: no we have not. right now she is controlling emma spiro. glulia giordano right now for ali deluca, last game for you goals for ali deluca for penn and they won over cornell 15-6.

>> jack: she was double tripped teemed on that goal just a minute ago not giving any room at all. >> mike: she is trying to make a move right now. >> jack: they are just making it difficult to isolate the double and tipple team very quickly. >> mike: erin brennan those two are right in front of the cage they are going back and forth trying to get that passed behind the net. >> jack: they are having a lot of patience, they are doing a fantastic job recovering when they slide. >> mike: glulia giordano for ali deluca now. penn controlling them 2-1. ali deluca, you know she wants to take it in, there is the shot and just missing off to the right, it will be backed off and ali deluca only has a

couple of shots on goal tonight. >> jack: yes, she just looks like she is a little rust it -- frustrated, not a lot of open space for her to get that quality shot she is accustomed to doing on a regular basis. >> mike: three more goals for 129 and that will be the most for all time in quaker history. courtney lubbe looking for the opportunity but not there. coming up on 12 minutes to go in the first half. now erin brennan, mary jordan clears it out. >> jack: nice play by mary jordan. >> mike: a save and a bad pass up high that time.

caitlyn mcfadden trying to find schwartz schwartz -- katie schwarzmann who both have pretty good games. emma spiro who has the only penn goal has it right now and gives it up. >> jack: that is a pass for ml1acl0 -- that is a pass caitlyn mcfadden did not have to make. she could have taken her time and moved the ball down to the end of the offensive field. >> mike: games played here at franklin field 34-4 here in the last five games at home. trying to knock off the first two in the nation and maryland has been so dominant they got to the final four, 32 over the last two years former land. >> jack: that is a very good match up to watch if you are watching
