Down 2-1 in the 67th minute, Maryland men’s soccer forward Kimani Stewart-Baynes stepped up to the penalty spot after the head referee signaled a handball against Rutgers.
The fourth penalty kick taker this season had a chance to shed a glimmer of hope for Terps fans, who yearned to see a different result than the team’s previous three attempts this season, all misses.
However, the freshman sent the ball whizzing past the right post, igniting a collective groan amongst the home crowd. Once more, the Terps found themselves struggling to finish their opportunities in a 2-1 loss to the Scarlet Knights.
