Eighteen minutes into Sunday’s matinee against Saint Joseph’s, Maryland women’s soccer graduate forward Alyssa Poarch came inches away from kicking off the scoring, but her left-footed curling effort hit the crossbar, came down right on the goal line, and somehow didn’t find its way into the back of the net.
Missed chances were a theme all day for the Terps as they tied Saint Joseph’s in a scoreless draw.
Despite finishing the contest outshooting Saint Joseph’s, 12-3, and dominating play from the onset, Maryland was held to one or fewer goals for the sixth time in seven games to start the season.
