The top-seeded Maryland field hockey team advanced to its sixth straight Final Four Sunday with a 3-2 win over No. 8 Princeton at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex.
ACC Offensive Player of the Year Jill Witmer scored twice, once to tie and once for the lead, to send Maryland (22-1) to its 17th overall Final Four and 16th under head coach Missy Meharg. The Tigers (14-5) led twice in the first half, until Witmer and the Terrapins took control just before the break.
“We’re exceedingly excited to move on,” Meharg said. “We’ve been talking about advancing and every single game, we’ve been talking about advancing our game. I’m very proud of the all of the women for finding a way to beat a very talented, very experienced, defending national champion Princeton team.”
Next up–uke Friday afternoon at 2PM at Norfolk. The Terps have defeated Duke twice this year.
