BOULDER, Colo.- Senior forwards Keri Sarver and Emmy Harbo each scored one goal and added one assist to lead Maryland to a 3-1 victory over Texas in the first round of the University of Colorado Invitational at Pleasant View Soccer Complex this afternoon.

Maryland, which has now won four consecutive games, improves to 5-3-0 with the victory. Texas falls to 2-3-0.

Texas got on the board first at the 9:06 mark of the first half on an own goal. The Terps then scored three unanswered goals to win the game.
