Bryn Mawr, Pa. – Sophomore Ingrid Tomovski (Bosch en Duin, Netherlands) converted a penalty stroke almost four minutes into overtime to lift the No. 17 MIT field hockey team to a 2-1 victory against Bryn Mawr College on Sunday afternoon.

- Throughout the remainder of the first half, sophomore goalie Maeve Zimmer (Rockville, Md.) made four saves while the Engineers fought off six penalty corners to help preserve their 1-0 lead.
 
- During its seventh penalty corner of the third quarter, Bryn Mawr notched the equalizer in the 36^th minute. Late in the frame, senior Jordan Dattero (Setauket, N.Y.) thwarted a dangerous breakaway to preserve the deadlock. MIT was awarded a trio of penalty corners in the last two minutes with one resulting in a shot by McIntyre that was saved.
 
- The Engineers had the upper hand in the fourth quarter as they earned four penalty corners and did not concede any to the Owls while they also had a 3-0 advantage in shots. Recipients of a pair of penalty corners during the final 13 seconds of regulation, MIT nearly netted the game-winner, but sophomore Jane Tortorella's (Old Greenwich, Conn.) shot was saved right before time expired.
