BLOOMINGTON, IN -- Alina Stahl's goal in the 86th minute gave the Terps a wild, 1-0 win over Indiana to snap a seven-game losing streak. It was Maryland's second Big Ten victory of the season. 

Both defenses shined all night as neither team was able to find much offensive rhythm until Alyssa Poarch found Stahl streaking ahead of defenders in the middle of the field. For the fifth time this season, Stahl buried the ball in the back of the goal.

Despite the defensive battle for most of the game, the Terps showed the same grit and resiliency that has come to define them all season and, ultimately, came away with a massive victory and three points in the rankings.

Maryland out-shot Indiana 13-9, with each side recording six shots on goal. 

The Terps moved to 3-8-5 on the season and 2-7 in Big Ten play while Indiana dropped to 2-7-7, 0-7-2.
