No. 3 Maryland women's lacrosse looks to bounce back against No. 14 Princeton after two unexpectedly close matchups against unranked opponents. The Terps haven't played since narrowly defeating Saint Joseph's last Friday, and they'll now face a Princeton team that has dropped in the rankings after an early-season loss to Rutgers. The game will take place on Saturday at 3 p.m. at SECU Stadium and will stream on Big Ten Plus.
Why it matters
This matchup between two top-15 teams will be an important early-season test for both squads. Maryland is aiming to remain undefeated and build momentum, while Princeton is looking to prove the IWLCA coaches poll wrong after their loss to Rutgers. The game could also have implications for the Ivy League and NCAA Tournament seeding down the line.
The details
Maryland narrowly defeated Saint Joseph's last Friday, with a five-goal performance from Lauren LaPointe keeping the Terps undefeated. The team will look to get back on track against a Princeton squad that has been led by junior attacker Meg Morrisroe, who has accounted for 40% of the Tigers' goals this season. Princeton's defense, anchored by senior Abigail Roberts, will also be a key factor in the matchup.
- The game will take place on Saturday, February 27, 2026 at 3 p.m.
- Maryland last played on Friday, February 20, 2026 against Saint Joseph's.
The players
Cathy Reese
Head coach of the Maryland women's lacrosse team.
Meg Morrisroe
Junior attacker for the Princeton Tigers, leading the team with 10 goals on 12 shots.
Abigail Roberts
Senior defender for the Princeton Tigers, earning Second Team All-Ivy honors the past two seasons.
Jami MacDonald
Senior attacker for the Princeton Tigers, a Second Team All-Ivy honoree in 2025 who will need to contribute offensively for the Tigers to upset Maryland.
Kennedy Major
Backline captain for the Maryland Terrapins, whose return should provide a boost to the team's defensive stability.
What they’re saying
“We were able to fight through when things weren't going our way, and I'm just proud of our effort for that.”
— Cathy Reese, Head coach, Maryland women's lacrosse (Yahoo Sports)
“If you can force them to take the shots that you want, then you're going to come up with the saves that you can make.”

What’s next
The winner of this matchup will likely move up in the IWLCA rankings, while the loser could drop further. Both teams will be looking to use this game as a springboard for the rest of their seasons and potential postseason runs.
The takeaway
This top-15 showdown between Maryland and Princeton will be an important early-season test for both squads as they look to establish themselves as contenders in their respective conferences and on the national stage.
