In its final preseason tune-up before the regular season begins, No. 20 Maryland men’s soccer took down No. 14 Marshall, 2-1, in an exhibition at Ludwig Field on Friday night.
The Thundering Herd scored the game’s first goal 33 minutes in, after a shot from junior left back Gabriel Alves deflected off a Terps defender and found the back of the net.
Just over 40 minutes later, Maryland finally broke through after struggling to gather any offensive momentum for much of the game. Redshirt sophomore forward Joshua Bolma brought the Terps level after a pass from junior defender Alex Nitzl found his left foot in the middle of the 18-yard box.
