In the 83rd minute, the Terps received a corner in a match that seemed to be headed for a draw. Then, Emily Lenhard’s cross soared directly past James Madison goalkeeper Sofia DeCerb for her first-career goal and what appeared to be the game-winning score.
“In practice, that’s been part of the plan all along,” Lenhard said. “We figured out that I have that in my locker. So I figured, why not try to do it?”
Lenhard’s goal stunned James Madison, but the Dukes had some magic up their sleeve. In the 89th minute, Sophia Verrecchia shot off-balance to the top right past a diving Liz Beardsley to tie things.
