When this year’s Maryland women’s soccer team looks like it’s finally going to give in, it finds a way to pull itself back into contests.
“We bend but we don’t break,” head coach Meg Ryan Nemzer said following yet another comeback effort Thursday night.
For 83-and-a-half minutes of Thursday’s game against No. 17 Georgetown, the Terps were tested to the limit — seeing shot after shot require brilliance from senior goalkeeper Madeline Smith.
With Georgetown possessing a 1-0 lead, courtesy of a 58th-minute tally, Maryland looked down on the mat in the waning minutes.
Miraculously, senior attacker Alina Stahl found her way into open space and got her head on a Mikayla Dayes cross to even the game and send the fans home happy.
