Hardly anyone thought Maryland men’s soccer would get this far. But Chase Gasper certainly did.
“Every season, that’s your mindset,” the senior defender said. “From the very beginning of the season, preseason, all the work during the spring and over the summer is to get back to that final. That’s what you want to do.”
The Terrapins have won three matches in a row to start the NCAA Tournament, and after spending the past two weekends in Durham, North Carolina, and Lexington, Kentucky, they’re headed to Santa Barbara, California, for the College Cup.
Maryland soccer hasn’t made a Final Four since 2013, when it eventually fell to Notre Dame in the championship match.
