Women’s Soccer Puts 18 Shots on Target but Ends Its Season With a 3-2 Loss to Maryland
Maryland came to Piscataway without a road win all season. It put four shots on target, scored on three of them, and held off a late Rutgers push on the final night of the Scarlet Knights’ year
Maryland's women's soccer team, coming to Yurcak Field without a road win all season, lost their final match of the year to Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights put 18 shots on target, but Maryland managed to score only two goals. Jolie Farmer scored for Rutgers at the 7:06 mark and again at the 51:47 mark, while Mia Mitchell converted a penalty kick at the 38:43 mark.
Lilia Calvert equalized for Maryland with a penalty kick at the 56:25 mark, and Reilly McGlinn scored the winning goal for Rutgers at the 81:49 mark. Despite having the most shots on target, Maryland couldn't secure the victory, ending their season in defeat against Rutgers. The match was played in front of an announced crowd of 503, but the atmosphere was far from festive.
The Rutgers team had come in off their best result of October, a 4-0 win at Indiana, which ended a run of three straight matches without a goal. Five seniors played in the final match, making it their last game for Rutgers. The match ended with a somber mood on the Rutgers side, as the final whistle marked the end of the year and for some, the end of their careers with the team.
