Mason’s Early Marker Delivers Women’s Soccer to 1-0 Win Over Purdue

Scarlet Knights pick up their first Big Ten win of the season

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers women's soccer (5-4-2, 1-2-0) used a second-minute Emily Mason marker and held on for a 1-0 victory over Purdue (3-7-1, 0-2-1) for its first Big Ten win of the season on a drenched Sunday afternoon at Yurcak Field.
 
SCORING SUMMARY
  • It took just 82 seconds for Rutgers to take an early advantage with Riley Tiernan at the corner spot. Her well-placed service found Emily Mason on the far side of the Purdue 18-yard box, where the defender collected and fired off the inside of the near post for her first tally of the 2023 season.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
  • Olivia Bodmer's six-save shutout started in the 15th minute when she turned away a Lauren Omholt attempt heading inside the near post with a diving stop.
  • Bodmer's best highlight of the day to preserve the clean sheet came in the 71st minute as Zoie Allen fired from 25 yards out toward the upper-right 90, but Bodmer sprawled for save to keep the Boilermakers off the board.
  • Allison Lowrey missed an insurance goal by inches as a shot past the Purdue keeper dribbled off the post and back into play before it was scooped up by the goalie.

STAT SHEET
  • Purdue outshot Rutgers, 19-10, overall and 6-4 in shots on goal.
  • Bodmer's six saves were the second-most of the season for the redshirt freshman keeper.
  • Sam Kroeger, Gia Vicari and Sara Brocious offered Rutgers' other shots on target after Mason's goal.
  • Both sides combined for 14 corner kicks with seven apiece.
  • Allison Lynch, Mason, and Kassidy Banks all put in the 90-minute effort in Rutgers' sixth shutout of the season.
 KNIGHT NOTES
  • All five of Rutgers' wins this season have come via shutout. The victory over Purdue marks the third 1-0 win of 2023.
  • Career goals: Emily Mason (4)
  • Career assists: Riley Tiernan (20)
  • Riley Tiernan recorded her 50th collegiate point with her 20th career assist, moving into a seventh-place tie all-time at Rutgers with Nicole Whitley (2016-18). Tiernan is nine assists away from tying the program record of 29 career assists set by Gina DeMaio from 2006-10.
  • Rutgers is 6-0-1 in the all-time series against Purdue. Five of the last six meetings took place in Piscataway, where the Scarlet Knights are 4-0-0.
