Maryland women’s soccer looked destined for its fifth draw of the season, tied with Binghamton with under 10 minutes to play. But all it takes is one stroke of luck, and Binghamton midfielder Alex Marstellar’s gave the Terps a penalty in the 82nd minute.
Forward Ava Morales calmly stepped up and fired a shot, which grazed the left palm of goalkeeper Kaitlyn Williams on its way into the net to give Maryland a 1-0 lead.
The penalty was Morales’ third goal in the last three games, and Maryland’s first penalty goal since 2017. She’s forced her way into the starting lineup as of late, showing some great quality in the attacking third.
