Down one goal early in the second half, Maryland women’s soccer was desperate to get back into the match. The only issue: the team couldn’t seem to get the ball from Ohio State. The Buckeyes, not content with their lead, were pressing. Hard.
As the chances mounted, the Buckeyes put together a wild offensive possession in the hunt of their third goal.
Ohio State’s freshman midfielder Peyton McNamara, in the midst of the best game of her young career, was the instigator, creating chaos as the Terps attempted to put forth everything they had defensively. The Buckeyes got off one, then two, then three shot attempts, each barely batted away by a Maryland defender.
