With the game tied at one, Maryland’s dynamic duo of forwards Alyssa Poarch and Mikayla Dayes struck again with seven minutes remaining against Purdue.
Poarch stood in the box and got a quick ball off to an open Dayes, who skipped one past Purdue goalkeeper Marisa Bova to give the Terrapins their first lead in four games.
The Terrapins were able to hold the lead through the final minutes of play, taking a 2-1 win over the Boilermakers — their first victory since Oct. 6.
“When Alyssa got the ball, I knew she was going to find that target,” Dayes said.
