No. 6 Maryland was edged by No. 2 Princeton, 3-2, Friday night in the NCAA Semifinals off a penalty stroke awarded to the Tigers in the sixth minute of overtime. The Terrapins’ defense held the nation’s No. 1 offense at bay for most of the game. After trailing 2-1 late, Maryland tied it up off a stroke with 14 minutes to play.
“We’re just very proud of the Maryland team,” head coach Missy Meharg said. “They played a tremendous game, stuck to the plans. Princeton is such a fast team and they’re counterattack is probably the best in the NCAA that I’ve ever seen. This is just really a tribute to Ali McEvoyand our deep defense for being able to control that speed for most of the game.”
