Facing the potent offensive attack of the reigning Big Ten Tournament champions in Iowa would be a tough task for Maryland women’s soccer in its conference opener Thursday night.
From deep in Iowa territory, midfielder Addie Bundy launched a pass into the attacking third. The pass bounced twice before midfielder Hailey Rydberg beat the entire Maryland team to it in the 34th minute. Rydberg took one touch with her right foot, allowing her to move to the left and evade two Maryland defenders. From there, she dribbled right into the penalty arc and blasted one with her left foot.
