Maryland women’s soccer (0-0-1) will take on the Purdue Boilermakers (0-1-0) in West Lafayette, Indiana, on Thursday as the Terps attempt to move on from a disappointing result in their first match of the season.
Maryland drew 1-1 with Michigan State in Saturday’s season opener, although the result would have been even more drastic had it not been for the late-game heroics of senior forward Mikayla Dayes. A desperation goal from Dayes in the 89th minute saved the Terps from an embarrassing defeat at the hands of a Spartan team voted dead last in the preseason Big Ten coaches’ poll.
