Defender Ryan Blumberg had seen just nine minutes of action throughout his career with the No. 7 Maryland men’s soccer team. On Sunday, Blumberg garnered his first career start against No. 22 Indiana on Senior Day and came out the halftime intermission on the field as well.
Four minutes into the second period with the score tied at zero, Blumberg’s moment finally came. Off a corner kick from midfielder Ben Bender, Blumberg rose up and headed in the leading-snatching goal.
Blumberg was overcome with emotion following the score, visibly holding back tears as Maryland’s defense looked to close out the match.
