Kent State Ends Field Hockey Match in Second Overtime to Start Football Game

Maine and Temple were in second overtime at Kent State's Murphy-Mellis Field before the game was canceled by Kent State administrators.

Kent State officials ended a women's field hockey match between No. 24 Maine and Temple early on Saturday morning to begin a football game slated at noon. 

The Golden Flashes football team faced Kennesaw State at noon, set to take the field before Maine and Temple played at Murphy-Mellis Field in Kent, Ohio. But the field hockey match sat tied at 0–0 entering the second overtime, leading to an awkward interaction as noon approached. 

Maine confirmed the match will not be counted on either team's record due to the cancelation. 

Maine will stay in Kent through Sunday when it faces the Golden Flashes. Hopefully no other events will cancel the field hockey action at Murphy-Mellis Field.
