In the 57th minute of Maryland men's soccer’s match against No. 15 Cal State Fullerton on Saturday night, midfielder Malcom Johnston was tackled by a defender and sent to the turf of Ludwig Field.
But before the freshman had to helped off the field, limping and hardly able to put pressure on his left ankle, he gave the Terps the goal they needed to take down the Titans, 2-0, Saturday night.
With Maryland ahead 1-0 in the 23th minute, Johnston found himself in the right place at the right time. A free-kick played into the Cal State Fullerton box battered around between a sea of opposing defenders before falling to the foot of freshman, where he managed to sneak it past senior keeper Paul-Andre Guerin to put Maryland men’s soccer up two.
