Jordyn Hollamon delivered the deciding shootout conversion as Maryland held off Princeton 4–3 on Sept. 29 at Bedford Field, extending the Terrapins' perfect start to 10 games.

The No. 2 Terps led by two goals twice in regulation, but No. 10 Princeton forced overtime with a late rally. Maryland eventually won the shootout 2–1, producing the official 4–3 game score.

Ella Fehr scored Maryland's first shootout goal. After the teams remained level through four rounds, Alyssa Klebasko denied Princeton's fifth attempt and Hollamon converted the winner, according to the official recap.

Maryland's opening two goals came 121 seconds apart. Babs van Hest scored at 8:56 with an assist from Maia Adamson, and Francisca Eschoyez made it 2–0 at 10:57. Maci Bradford and van Hest assisted on Eschoyez's goal.

Ottilie Sykes cut Princeton's deficit at 18:57. After a scoreless third quarter, Josie Hollamon restored Maryland's two-goal advantage with a penalty stroke at 48:44.
