The opening period between the No. 12 Maryland men’s soccer team and Pacific went by without either team finding the back of the net. Despite the Terps being the superior team on both sides of the ball, its offense struggled once again in the first 45 minutes.
Like a firecracker, however, Maryland quickly put its disappointing opening period in the rearview mirror. In the span of six minutes, the Terrapins poured on three goals.
The first came in the 53rd minute off of the head of defender Chris Rindov. Four minutes then went by before forward Caden Stafford made it 2-0.
