After No. 23 Rutgers battled back to tie the match at 12 against No. 9 Maryland, midfielder Shaylan Ahearn lined up for the free position opportunity following a caused turnover by defender Maddie Sanchez.
The sophomore’s follow through was deflected by the Scarlet Knight defense, but the bouncing ball was able to slip past goalkeeper Sophia Cardello for the tie-breaking goal to give Maryland a cushion down the stretch.
Maryland had 24 turnovers in the game today, with Rutgers causing just ten of those. Unforced errors were detrimental to Maryland holding onto its lead, but the Terps were able to hang on down the stretch for a 14-12 senior day win.
