VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Despite outshooting Maryland 10-6 and holding a 10-2 edge in penalty corners, the Ohio State field hockey team fell 2-0 to the Terrapins on Friday afternoon at the Virginia Beach Sportsplex. The Buckeyes are 0-2 in the season while Maryland improves to 2-1.
The Buckeyes had an edge in nearly every statistical category, generating more offense and more penalty corners but failing to put one past Terrapin goalkeeper Noelle Frost.
Maryland scored just 3:54 into the first quarter when Kyler Greenwalt received a feed from Brooke DeBerdine and put one in from in front of the goal. That early 1-0 Terrapin lead would hold up for the next 55 minutes until Riley Donnelly scored on a penalty stroke with 57 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to make the score 2-0.
Ohio State goalie Aaliyah Hernandez, who had her 38th career start, made one save while facing just three total shots on goal. The Buckeyes doubled that total, getting six shots on goal – three by Mackenzie Allessie and two more from Louise Fobe – but ultimately not converting on their opportunities.
All 10 of Ohio State's penalty corners game in the first three quarters – four each in the first and second quarters with two more in the third quarter.
The Buckeyes have a quick turnaround as they play again on Sunday at 3 p.m. against Rutgers in Virginia Beach. Ohio State and Rutgers faced each other last Sunday, which the Scarlet Knights prevailing in overtime, 2-1.
