The Maryland men’s soccer team entered 2017 having played into its conference championship in each of the last five years, allotting less than a week to prepare for the NCAA Tournament. This season, though, is uncharted territory for the players, who have been able to rest and recover from numerous injuries sustained in the last several weeks of the season.

“This was a great opportunity for us to get healthy,” head coach Sasho Cirovski said Tuesday.
