In its final nonconference game of the regular season, No. 9 Maryland field hockey relied on its veterans Sunday in a 2-1 win over American University.
Graduates Ashlyn Carr and Sammy Popper — both of whom transferred to Maryland this season — each contributed as the Terps (10-3) won their third straight game.
Including Margot Lawn’s two goals against Michigan State, graduate seniors have been apart of four of Maryland’s last five scores.
“We have five women right now who have chosen to play their fifth year of eligibility,” Maryland head coach Missy Meharg said. “…Sammy chose not to play at Princeton, took the semester off and came to Maryland… [so they’re] taking it like every step in training and every opportunity matters.
