Matt Di Rosa and Donovan Pines (River Hill) each scored Friday night to lead the Maryland men's soccer team over second-seeded Indiana, 2-0, and into Sunday’s NCAA final in Santa Barbara, Calif.
Di Rosa opened the scoring in the first half, and Pines, a Clarksville native, sealed the deal in the 79th minute to propel the No. 11 seed Terps (12-6-4) into a showdown with unseeded Akron (15-6-2) in the championship match.
After a slow start by both teams, Maryland struck first when Di Rosa had a shot in traffic deflected past Indiana goalie Trey Muse in the 37th minute.
