LOUISVILLE, Ky. – After over 77 minutes of scoreless play, Big Ten Freshman of the Year Bibi Donraadt split two defenders and scored to send No. 2 Maryland to its 14^th NCAA Championship game. The Terrapins (22-2) beat No. 3 Princeton, 1-0, in overtime in the NCAA Semifinals at University of Louisville's Trager Stadium Friday evening.
 
Princeton, led by former Terrapins Carla Tagliente and Dina Rizzo, and Maryland were locked in a defensive battle through the entire match, until Donraadt broke through to move the Terrapins forward.
 
"I'm so proud, I'm overwhelmed by the tenacity of our defense," head coach Missy Meharg said. "I thought Princeton was so tactical. They came in layers. I couldn't be more proud of the coaching staff at Princeton. They are both Terps. This was a phenomenal game and I'm just so proud of this team for finding a way to move forward in the NCAA Tournament."
 
Maryland got its first penalty corner of the match in the final 2:00 of the period, but the shot was blocked off the play.
 
The Terps turned up the offensive pressure, taking three of their six shots in the second period. Princeton was awarded two penalty corners with under 3:00 left in regulation, but the Terrapins' defense came up with two stops to force overtime.
 
In the 10-minute, 7-vs-7 overtime period, the Terrapins got a penalty corner early, but did not convert. With 2:06 left in the golden goal extra time, Donraadt brought the ball into the circle, split two Princeton defenders and cracked a chip shot that went in just under the crossbar for the score.
 
Princeton took seven shots to Maryland's six and had nine penalty corners to the Terps' two. Goalkeeper Sarah Holliday picked up a save.
 
No. Maryland (22-2) will take on top-seeded North Carolina (21-0) Sunday in the NCAA Championship game at 1 p.m. at Louisville's Trager Stadium.
