Trailing by one with its NCAA Tournament lives on the line, Maryland men’s soccer searched for an equalizer with 40 minutes left to play against Wake Forest in the second round.
But in the 50th minute of play, the Terps saw their College Cup hopes vanish.
Wake Forest midfielder Isaiah Parente stopped the Maryland attack from forming in its tracks, taking control of the ball and carrying it into the center of the 18 with plenty of daylight in front of him. He laid it off to midfielder Machop Chol to his left, who knocked it through with the side of his foot to extend the Demon Deacon lead, putting the Terps out of reach in a 3-0 season-ending loss.
