Maryland women’s soccer was desperate, down one with two minutes left in the opening game of the season.
A free kick launched by defender Adalee Broadbent from behind the midfield line signified the Terps’ likely last chance. The ball bounced from player to player, finally coming to rest at the feet of senior midfielder Hope Lewandoski.
Looking up, Lewandoski saw her fellow senior, forward Mikayla Dayes. Lewandoski dropped a pass that slid between two Spartan defenders to Dayes, who began to dribble towards the goal. Before Dayes could get an attempt off, Michigan State defender Reagan Cox stepped in.
