The Maryland men’s soccer team has battled all year through a grueling scheduling, injuries, and some tough luck at inopportune times. But in the biggest match of the year, the Terrapins scored a golden goal in the 97th minute to knock off No. 17 Michigan State, 1-0, in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals.
Eric Matzelevich was in the right place at the perfect time for Maryland, which desperately needed a resume-padding win if it hoped to continue its season. And following a shot by fellow freshman Vinicius Lansade, Matzelevich beat goalkeeper Jimmy Hague on a rebound to give the the Terps the victory.
