In a match deadlocked at 0-0 through 70 minutes, Ben Di Rosa took it upon himself to give Maryland men’s soccer the goal it needed to secure the victory.
Freshman midfielder Malcolm Johnston used a clever play with the ball to get himself free just outside the box, and he found fellow freshman midfielder David Kovacic who swung the ball to Di Rosa at the edge of the box. From there, the junior defender fired a rocket into the back of the net to put Maryland up by one in the 70th minute.
The Terp defense would hold for the final 20 minutes of play, giving Maryland the 1-0 win.
