Maryland men’s soccer is heading to the College Cup. The No. 11 Terrapins advanced to the national semifinals in Santa Barbara, California, after a 1-0 road victory over No. 3 Kentucky on Friday night in Lexington.
Senior Sebastian Elney scored the clinching goal against North Carolina State in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament two weeks ago, and in the 29th minute against the Wildcats, Elney took an Amar Sejdic pass to the right side of the box and delivered a beautiful strike past Enrique Facusse to give the Terps a 1-0 lead.
The match was extremely physical, and Maryland in particular was uncharacteristically undisciplined on the defensive end.
