The momentum was on No. 5 Maryland field hockey’s side as time wound down with the game tied at two, as Princeton was playing on its heels.

The Terps were outshooting Princeton in the second half, 7-1, before the Tigers drew their third penalty corner of the game with under a minute to play. Princeton, which had five fewer penalty corners than Maryland, inserted to freshman Merle Broex, who set up defender Ottilie Sykes for the game-winner from the top of the shooting circle with 34 seconds left.

“They took advantage of their set pieces,” Maryland head coach Missy Meharg said.
