After what seemed like an eternity, Maryland women’s soccer came through when it counted most late in Sunday’s contest against NJIT. After 100 minutes of scoreless play, the teams went to double overtime, and that is when midfielder Hope Lewandoski came into the spotlight.
With six minutes remaining, the junior took a cross and netted Maryland’s third goal of the season to give them a 1-0 victory and a two-win start to the 2019 season.
The Terrapins are no stranger to overtime games after competing in eight in 2018, five of which ended in a tie after double overtime.
