The field hockey team just had one of the most dramatic wins you will ever see. Playing #15 Maryland, Michigan jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first half. Maryland fights back to tie it late in the 2nd half. The 2 teams play one scoreless 15 minute overtime and head to the second and final overtime. With about 5 seconds to play before settling for a draw, Michigan fires a ball into the circle from about 30 yards out. There's a mad scrum between the MD goalie and Meg Dowthwaite and the ball squirts loose. With 2 seconds to go Emma Way lays out full extension and hacks at the ball knocking it into the open net at 99:59 on the clock.

When you're scoring game winning goals with one second to go, you are having some kind of season. Great effort play by Way to knock it in. Emma Way...all she does is score goals right in front of the net and she does that damn well. Modern day Dino Cicarelli.
