Nebraska’s women’s soccer team just logged their **seventh** tie of the season, a 0-0 grind against Maryland on Thursday night. Seriously, *seven* draws already? This team is proving they can play some serious defense, but man, the scoreboard keeps staying blank. The Huskers’ overall record now sits at 3-3-7, with their Big Ten record at 1-2-4 after this East Coast road trip stalemate.
Avery Gillahan is an Absolute Wall, But Where’s The Attack?
Let’s talk about the bright spots, because there are always bright spots. Avery Gillahan is playing out of her mind in goal, picking up her third consecutive shutout against Maryland. She grabbed two saves and helped secure the Huskers’ sixth shutout of the season. That’s an insane run for any keeper, and it shows this Nebraska defense is legit. Maryland only managed seven shots all night, with just two on goal, which speaks volumes about how tight the Huskers are defensively.
Offensive Struggles Are Real For The Huskers
But man, you gotta wonder where the offense is. Nebraska finished the match with a measly four shots, only two of which were on goal. Reese Snowden delivered both of those on-target shots but just couldn’t break the deadlock. Emma Reda and Kate Eggett each contributed one shot, but that’s the extent of the attack. When you’re only putting up two shots on goal in an entire game, it’s tough to expect wins, even with Gillahan standing on her head. The lack of finish is definitely an early trend we’re seeing, and they gotta figure out how to put some points on the board.
Nebraska is staying on the East Coast for their next battle, heading to Piscataway, New Jersey, to face Rutgers this Sunday afternoon. Kickoff is at noon CT, and you can catch it on Big Ten Plus. They need to find some offensive fire, and fast, if they want to turn these draws into victories.
