WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue soccer came up short on the road Thursday night, falling 1–0 to Nebraska at Barbara Hibner Field. Purdue drops to 5-7-3 on the season and 2-4-1 in Big Ten play.
The Boilermakers held the majority of possession and matched the Huskers in corner kicks, but a late second-half goal proved the difference.
The teams played an even first half, with both sides trading corners and testing each other in midfield. Purdue generated four first-half corners and a pair of shots from Margaux Chauvet and Emilia Deppe, but neither found the target. Goalkeeper Emily Edwards made two saves in the opening 45 minutes to keep the game scoreless at the break.
After halftime, the Boilermakers looked to push forward with Megan Santa Cruz, Angelina Thoreson, and Chiara Singarella each creating opportunities in the attacking third, but Purdue was unable to record a shot on goal.
Nebraska finally broke through in the 83rd minute when Reagan Raabe converted a cross from Carson Bohonek and Ella Rudney, giving the Huskers the lone goal.
Edwards finished with five saves in total, keeping Purdue within striking distance throughout the match.
