WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A late second half goal lifted Purdue over the Maryland women's soccer team, 1-0, Thursday night at Folk Field.

The Terrapins (3-12-1, 1-7-0 Big Ten) had a few solid opportunities to tally against the Boilermakers, but were unable to find the back of the yet. Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Rachel Egyed had a solid night between the sticks and finished with four saves.

Maryland's first opportunity came in the 11^th minute when freshman Jlon Flippens whipped in a corner that sophomore Jarena Harmon headed just wide of the left post. Maryland then withstood a solid period of Purdue pressure before Harmon sent a half chance over the top of the bar in the 29^th minute.

Junior Chelsea Jackson found some space in the box in the 30^th minute, but her shot was saved by Jordan Ginther.

In the second half, Maryland's best chance came when Flippens turned nicely in the box and sent a shot that Ginther was just able to palm away. Egyed returned the favor with a fantastic diving stop on a Dagny Olson right to the right post.

Dannah Williams gave the Boilermakers the victory when she tapped the ball in after a scramble in the box following a Purdue corner.

Maryland returns to action against Indiana at Ludwig Field on Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. The game is Senior Day, with Maryland's senior class honored before the match.
