For 84 minutes, Maryland and UMBC were in a scoreless deadlock. Three minutes later, both teams had found the net.
Maryland attacker Luke Van Heukelum’s 85th minute goal was answered by an 87th minute header from UMBC’s Joseph Picotto, as the Terps tied their season opener, 1-1, on the road in a game where they largely dominated possession.
“It’s a teachable moment,” Maryland head coach Sasho Cirovski said. “We had a lead late with five minutes left in the game and there’s certain things that we need to do to close out a game like that that we didn’t do.
