Maryland women’s soccer vs. Gardner-Webb final score, with 3 things to know from the Terps’ 1-1 tie

After committing 10 fouls last game Maryland was even more physical today, committing 14 fouls compared to Gardner-Webb’s 5.

After Jackson had another shot deflected by Brown, she put in a cross from Badham from point blank range.

Three things to know

1. It was a long day in College Park: The game was delayed over an hour because of an officiating delay, and another forty five minutes at halftime due to inclement weather. The final horn didn’t sound until close to 5:30.
2. Chelsea Jackson continues to make an impact: It hasn’t taken the Oklahoma transfer a while to adjust to Maryland. She’s scored both of the Terps goals this season and should be an option on offense going forward.
3. Another goalie for Maryland: Katelyn Jensen, Maryland’s other goalie, made her season debut today. She wasn’t challenged a lot in goal, but came out to make a few saves when needed.
