WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue soccer put together a gritty performance Thursday night but came up short in a 1–0 loss to Penn State at Folk Field.
Despite matching the Nittany Lions in shots on goal (3–3) and holding a slight edge in possession (51%), the Boilermakers couldn’t find the equalizer after conceding late in the first half. Purdue drops to 5-9-3 on the season and 2-6-1 in conference play.
The decisive moment came in the 32nd minute when Penn State’s Amelia White finished a cross from Molly Martin, putting the visitors ahead 1–0.
Offensively, Purdue kept the pressure on. The Boilermakers outshot Penn State 12–9 and earned several quality looks but could not find the finish.
Goalkeeper Emily Edwards recorded two saves in another steady performance, anchoring a back line that included Zoe Cuneio, and Lauren Adam.
