Down one goal to Wisconsin at halftime Friday, Maryland women’s soccer was hoping to mount a comeback to start Big Ten play off on the right foot.
But any chance of that vanished quickly.
Badgers forward Lauren Rice took a pass into the box and finessed her way around Terps goalkeeper Erin Seppi for an easy goal five minutes into the second half. Less than a minute later, forward Dani Rhodes gave Wisconsin another goal on a close shot.
It was too big of a hole for Maryland to climb out of, and the Badgers held on to hand the Terps a 3-0 loss.
