No. 3 Maryland field hockey falls to No. 7 Princeton in double overtime, 4-3, for first loss of the season

In an early game of the year candidate on Tuesday afternoon in Princeton, New Jersey, one overtime was not enough to generate an outcome between two top-10 field hockey programs.

No. 7 Princeton took advantage of a penalty corner in the second overtime with midfielder Beth Yeager delivering a low shot that clanked into the cage to lift the Tigers ahead of No. 3 Maryland, 4-3, and hand the Terps their first loss of the season.

Maryland stands at 7-1 heading into a stretch of five consecutive Big Ten games, beginning this Friday against No. 8 Michigan.
