With the score tied at 13 and 3:07 remaining, Libby May lined up for another free position shot in hopes of doing what she has done all afternoon given those chances. However, her bullet shot hit the right side post, giving Penn State the opportunity to put this one away on the other end.
A free position chance for Penn State was brought back out, giving Olivia Dirks the open space to cut down the middle seam of Maryland’s defense and rifle in the go-ahead goal with 2:09 remaining in the game.
This goal would be the deciding factor in this clash of Big Ten foes, as Maryland dropped its opening matchup of the season, 15-13.
