It’s been five days since Maryland men’s soccer’s season reached its apex — so far.
The Terps not only beat what looked to be one of the best teams in the Big Ten, but they did dominated, defeating then-No. 8 Wisconsin, 3-0.
What made Maryland an underdog heading into the contest was the challenge Wisconsin’s defense presented on paper. The Terps’ attack had perviously been limited in its ability to create chances, particularly when playing better opponents, while the Badgers’ back end had allowed just two goals in the previous five games.
Maryland’s defense already proved capable of slowing down offenses, not allowing more than two goals to any prior opponent.
