WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue soccer showed resilience on Sunday afternoon, rallying late to secure a 1–1 draw against Butler at Folk Field.
The result moves the Boilermakers to 2-1-1 after securing their first draw of the season. The Boilers fought back in a gritty match, one that had seven yellow cards between the teams.
Butler grabbed the early advantage in the 34th minute when Leila Lister finished a chance created by Chloe Brecht and Talia Sommer. The Bulldogs outshot Purdue 14–9 overall, and goalkeeper Emily Edwards kept the Boilermakers within striking distance, making five key saves to keep it a one-goal game.
Purdue’s persistence finally paid off in the 78th minute. Angelina Thoreson netted the equalizer—her second goal of the season— off the double assist from Irene Campo and Lauren Adam. Despite late pushes from both sides, neither team found a winner.
