Princeton finishes the regular season 13-3, while Maryland completed its regular season 19-0.
Maryland jumped out to a 2-0 lead less then two minutes into the game, but Princeton's Schwab scored two to even the game at 9:48. The Terrapins went on a five-goal run in a span on three minutes to make it 7-2. Princeton answered with three straight goals with three minutes to play in the first, 7-5. The teams traded goals within 40 seconds before Maryland added one final goal before the close of the first to take a 9-6 lead at halftime.
The Terps rattled off four goals to start the second half to take a 13-6 lead, and the seven-goal deficit was too much for the Tigers to handle.
