When Maryland hired Ray Leone away from Harvard last year, it signaled a commitment to building a successful women’s soccer team. Entering last season, Leone began his 26th year as a head coach for his sixth different program. However, despite a career winning record, he couldn’t find success with the Terps.
Now, in year two under Leone, Maryland is much more prepared to compete in each game, with more talent and more comfort in the new system.
What happened last year
The Terps struggled mightily in 2016, finishing with a 3-15-1 record and never being able to find any consistency.
