Maryland women’s soccer last game took place 475 days ago. That game, a 3-0 loss to Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament, serves as a now-distant memory of a normal game, during a normal season, during a normal year. How quickly things change.
The team will take the field this Saturday under very different circumstances. An 11-game season leaves very little room for error, so the Terps will need to establish a winning way early on if they want a crack at making the four-team Big Ten Tournament.
There will be no fans in attendance, masks on the sidelines and mandatory testing before the game.
