It took 98 minutes before the first and only goal No. 12 Maryland men’s soccer scored in its match against Delaware, with midfielder Ben Bender playing the hero for the Terps, stunning the Newark crowd.
On the cross attempt by forward Justin Gielen, forward Joshua Bolma played the ball off of his stomach to the open grass in front of him. In came Bender, as the sophomore fired off a blistering shot with his left foot that found the back of the net.
Bender’s game-winner ended up being the go-ahead goal in Maryland’s 1-0 overtime win over Delaware on Tuesday night.
