No. 12 Maryland field hockey has consistently talked about turning penalty corner opportunities into goals heading into Thursday’s match with No. 6 Rutgers.
With around eight minutes to play in the third quarter and Maryland holding on to a one-goal lead, the Terps earned their sixth penalty corner of the match. Having already scored off one penalty corner on the day, the Terps were dominating and hungry for more.
Forward Bibi Donraadt inserted the ball precisely to midfielder Nathalie Fiechter, on her birthday, nonetheless. Fiechter set it perfectly for defender Maura Verleg, whose shot rocketed into the back of the net.
