Limited to a conference-only schedule last spring, the Maryland men’s soccer team struggled out of the gates with an 0-3 start but were able to finish out the regular season going 4-0-1.
Maryland’s Big Ten tournament hopes were dashed by the Indiana Hoosiers for the third straight year, and although the Terps did just enough to earn a spot in the College Cup — its 20th straight berth — it was a quick exit by the hands of the Missouri State Bears in the first round.
This year presents some upside given the impressive progress shown by its young core and a solid positive three-point scoring margin in its three exhibition matches.
