Kent State Ends Field Hockey Match in Second Overtime to Start Football Game

Kent State officials ended a women's field hockey match between No. 24 Maine and Temple early on Saturday morning to begin a football game slated at noon.

The Golden Flashes football team faced Kennesaw State at noon, set to take the field before Maine and Temple played at Murphy-Mellis Field in Kent, Ohio. But the field hockey match sat tied at 0–0 entering the second overtime, leading to an awkward interaction as noon approached.

Well... that's a new one.

Today's game at @KentState has been declared a "no contest" after Kent State administration came onto the field prior to the second overtime half and called off the game to allow the noontime Kent football game to begin on time.
