Amar Sejdic scored on a penalty kick in the 57th minute and Maryland held off Akron, 1-0, on Sunday night to win its fourth NCAA men's soccer title.
Akron's Colin Biros kicked Johaness Bergmann in the face pursuing the ball inside the 18-yard box, resulting in the penalty shot. Sejdic converted the opportunity with a well-struck shot to the right of Ben Lundt after the goalkeeper guessed wrong and dived to the left.
The goal came on Maryland's first penalty kick during regulation play all season.
