UW Overruns Boilermakers As Dawgs Drop Purdue 2-0
September 26, 2024 | Women's Soccer
SEATTLE โ Behind scoring efforts from Ioanna Papatheodorou and Tatum Thomason, Washington outshined Purdue on a slick Husky Soccer Stadium surface Thursday night, earning three crucial points with a 2-0 win.
ย
After a slightly slow start out of the blocks for the Huskies, UW found its footing midway through the second half and never looked back. The Dawgs outshot Purdue 19-7 on the night, while Mia Hamant made four saves en route to her fourth clean sheet.
ย
While it took the Husky offense a few beats to get going, it was full steam ahead after about 25 minutes of play, peppering Purdue with several shots before Thomason drew a foul inside the box in the 37th minute.
ย
Papatheodorou claimed the ball and converted from the spot, calmly sending the keeper the wrong way and bulging the back of the net.
ย
Alex Buck nearly made it 2-0 on the counter attack in the 39th minute. However, PU keeper Emily Edwards was able to scramble back and cover her vacant net to deny the freshman.
ย
After the break, the Huskies got right back after it, pinning the Boilermakers in their defensive third and piling on pressure until Thomason was able to provide some insurance, opening her scoring account for the season.
ย
The build up started with Kalea Eichenberger, who cut back onto her left before slipping a pass in to Papatheodorou in the middle of the pitch. The Greek internation drove forward before finding Thomason, who perfectly placed her shot from distance into the bottom corner to beat Edwards.
ย
With two goals to the good, the Huskies were able to kill off the rest of the clock, locking up three points in the Big Ten table.
ย
The Dawgs return to action at home on Sunday, taking on Indiana for a 1 p.m. PT kick off for the annual Breast Cancer Awareness match. The match will be available for streaming through B1G+.
