Maryland women’s soccer held on strong as Saturday’s game against Rutgers entered the final 10 minutes.
But for the second time in the past four games, the Terps allowed a backbreaking goal late in the match.
After pressuring Maryland’s defense all game, the Scarlet Knights finally break through in the 85th minute, when midfielder Catherine DeRosa made a poorly timed tackle in the box, giving away a penalty.
Rutgers midfielder Kylie Daigle stepped up to the spot and buried the penalty past an outstretched Liz Beardsley to silence the home crowd at Ludwig Field.
The goal was the lone score of the game, as Maryland lost its fourth straight match, 1-0.
