PRINCETON, NJ -- Princeton's Beth Yeager scored off a penalty corner in the second overtime as the No. 3 Terps (7-1) fell 4-3 to the No. 7 Tigers (4-3) in a heartbreaker.

The two squads traded goals three different times, sending the game to overtime for the fifth consecutive time between the two programs.

Belle Bressler and Hope Rose both recorded a goal and an assist apiece. The Terps took 19 shots to Princeton's 11, but ultimately came up short and suffered their first loss of the year.

Breaking Down The Action

The Terps struck first midway through the second quarter off a penalty corner as Bressler redirected Hope Rose's pass into the net.
Maryland out-shot the Tigers 6-1 in the first half and won three penalty corners to Princeton's zero.
Princeton evened it up early in the second half but the Terps immediately responded to retake the lead thanks to a Margot Lawn goal. Lawn took a hot pass from Bibi Donraadt into the circle and got her stick on the ball to knock it in.
The Tigers equalized again in the third quarter and the game was knotted at two heading into the final 15 minutes of play.
In the fourth quarter, Rose took a pass from Bressler off a perfectly executed penalty corner and converted at a difficult angle, shooting across her body, to give Maryland the lead again. It was Rose's eighth goal of the season, a team-high.
After the Tigers tied it up again, the game went to overtime where Paige Kieft made multiple massive saves to keep the game tied.
Yeager scored her second game of the day to seal the win for the Tigers.
