With just under six and a half minutes remaining in a scoreless overtime battle, No. 3 Maryland field hockey received a penalty corner with a chance to score the game-winning goal against No. 8 Michigan in front of a raucous crowd at the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex in College Park on a chilly Friday night.
The Terps did just that, as graduate midfielder Leah Crouse dished the ball to graduate midfielder Danielle Van Rootselaar. The latter fired a shot that was ceremoniously sent back, before Crouse corralled the rebound and scored the game winning goal to allow the Terps to escape with a 1-0 victory over Michigan in a defensive battle.
