Maryland women’s soccer’s 2024 season was a sign for a reset in the program.
After going 3-2-3 in nonconference play, the Terps started 0-6-1 in Big Ten play without scoring a single goal. Maryland’s struggles in conference play caused Meghan Ryan Nemzer to be dismissed as the team’s head coach prior to a match with then-No. 20 Penn State.
Michael Marchiano took over as interim head coach and the team went 1-3-1 in the final five conference matches. Maryland had a streak of 17 consecutive Big Ten matches where the Terps were held scoreless, dating back to the start of 2023.
