Maryland women’s soccer falls to No. 14 Wisconsin, 1-0
The Terps have been shut out in four consecutive Big Ten games.
Maryland women's soccer suffered a 1-0 defeat to No. 14 Wisconsin in a Big Ten matchup. The Terps had not scored a goal in conference play, while Wisconsin had shut out every conference opponent they faced. Maryland's offense struggled throughout the game, starting with a shutout in the first half. Faith Luckey's deflection off a diving Taylor Gordon's header provided Wisconsin with a 25-minute lead.
Despite showing signs of life later in the half, Maryland's defense held strong, allowing Wisconsin to control the first half with seven shots and four on goal, compared to just two for Maryland before the goal. Ellie Egeland, who returned to the lineup after an injury, showed promise with her attacking instincts, but Maryland's offensive attempts remained limited.
Wisconsin's defense, led by Hailey Baumann, neutralized Maryland's star forward Jolie Farmer in the second half. The loss leaves Maryland with a challenging schedule ahead, including a game against No. 21 UCLA.
