With the game even at one apiece in overtime, No. 4 Maryland field hockey and No. 3 Iowa frantically paced the field searching for the game-winning goal.
With fewer than seven minutes in the extra period, the Terps were assessed their seventh penalty corner of the game. Maryland made number seven the final straw.
Maryland graduate midfielder Danielle van Rootselaar scored her second goal of the day on the play, giving the Terps a 2-1 victory in Iowa City, Iowa, on Friday evening in a clash of top of the best teams in the nation.
The top-10 showdown started off with both teams trading possessions quickly within the first five minutes of action, as they searched for early scoring opportunities.
