In the 88th minute in what had been an incredible effort from Maryland women’s soccer, Rutgers junior midfielder Sara Brocious took advantage of a looming ball in the box with Maryland defenders ball-watching. Brocious scored the winning goal, handing the Terps a heartbreaking 1-0 loss in Piscataway, New Jersey, on Sunday afternoon.
For nearly 90 minutes, Maryland competed with a national championship contender, but it wasn’t enough to earn a result. Still, it was an applaudable effort for the Terps against perhaps their toughest opponent yet.
Maryland falls to 2-3-5 on the season with a 1-2 record in the Big Ten.
