No. 3 Maryland field hockey found itself tied with Cal and in danger of being upset entering the fourth quarter Sunday afternoon. But as the final period waned, Maryland began to collect penalty corners and finally netted the game-winner with just over six minutes to play when Hope Rose buried a shot into the corner of the goal.
Rose’s goal was Maryland’s first of three unanswered tallies in less than four minutes, as it overcame the Golden Bears, 4-1.
With the win, Maryland moved to 2-0 on the season while Cal fell to 0-2. The Terps will play the third and final game of their season-opening West Coast road trip against UC Davis on Monday at 6 p.
