It’s a new year filled with new expectations for Maryland women’s soccer, which will look to start the season with a win when it travels to Washington, D.C. to take on American University on Thursday.
After a retooling offseason that saw 15 players leave the program and eight transfers come in — along with the top freshman class in the Big Ten — head coach Meghan Ryan Nemzer leads a new-look Terps squad into her second year with the program.
Maryland has seen success in season openers in recent years. The last time the Terps dropped an opener was in 2016, when they lost to TCU by a score of 2-1.
