On Friday, Maryland men’s soccer finished its sixth consecutive game without a win, falling 2-0 to No. 16 Northwestern. Despite dominating possession and outshooting the Wildcats, 15-10, the Terps struggled to convert on their opportunities around the net, which included ringing multiple shots off the post.
The Terps will again have a chance to earn their first Big Ten victory of the season when they take on Rutgers on Tuesday.
The Scarlet Knights haven’t shown much to worry about this season, accumulating five losses. In its latest match, Rutgers suffered a 2-0 defeat against Ohio State, managing just two shots on goal to the Buckeyes’ 14.
