In the 34th minute of Sunday’s matchup between the Maryland men’s soccer team and UMBC, midfielder Nick Richardson heaved a side out to fellow midfielder Ben Bender down the right side of Retriever territory.
Bender shook midfielder Ryan Becher and snuck a shot through goalkeeper Quantrell Jones’ legs, rewarding Maryland with a 2-1 lead. But the scoring wouldn’t stop there for Maryland’s first half efforts as they kept the pressure on Jones and the Retriever defense.
Four minutes later, midfielder Joe Suchecki found forward Jacen Russell-Rowe, who then found midfielder Malcolm Johnston for the three-touch goal. Johnston’s goal was indicative of Maryland’s ferociousness on the offensive end, which helped the Terps secure a 4-3 victory.
