The Blue Devils evened the match at the 53:05 mark as Laura Weinberg buried a left-footed shot into the right corner.
Trailing 2-1, the Blue Devils’ Mollie Pathman sent a long ball into the box that deflected off Terrapins goalkeeper Rachelle Beanlands and redshirt junior Kim DeCesare was able to finish off her eighth goal of the year with less than four minutes remaining.
