Believe it or not, after all its hardships this season, Maryland men’s soccer is among the final eight teams remaining in the NCAA Tournament.
This team started 0-2-2 and went over 470 minutes without scoring a single goal. It battled through one of the toughest schedules in the country to escape with a 7-6-3 regular season record. And through two games in the big dance, the Terps have been nearly perfect. They have consecutive 2-0 wins over North Carolina State and No. 6-seed Duke under their belt, and Maryland is playing its best soccer of the season.
The Terrapins are going to need their best soccer on Friday, as they’ll face off against one of the best teams in the country.
