Terps roll to field hockey win

The North Carolina field hockey team suffered the second-worst loss in program history Saturday, falling 7-0 to top-ranked Maryland in an ACC battle in College Park, Md.

The fifth-ranked Tar Heels dropped to 12-4 overall and 3-2 in ACC play, while Maryland improved to 15-2 overall and locked up the regular-season conference title with a 4-1 mark.

Maryland's Nicole Muracco scored an unassisted goal 11:41 into the game to put the Terps ahead for good.

UNC managed just five shots, four of them in the second half, after going into the game averaging more than 20 per outing.

The worst loss in UNC history came in the final game of the 1983 season, when the Tar Heels fell 8-0 to host Old Dominion in an NCAA Tournament second-round matchup.
