Georgia fell to Purdue, 1-0, after a late second half goal on Thursday night at the Turner Soccer Complex.

With fifteen minutes left to play, the Boilermakers' Kylie Hase notched the first goal of the night. A corner kick from Glisson gave Boyan an opportunity to tie the match but she was unable to find the back of the net. As seconds ticked off the clock Glisson found herself with the ball again and attempted to once again bring the score even. The shot went wide as time expired, securing the Purdue 1-0 win.
