Coming off a disappointing 3-3 tie against Penn State, No. 8 Maryland men’s soccer put together its first shutout of the season against then-No. 13 Ohio State.
It was a gritty victory for the Terps in a game that saw just 14 total shot attempts. Maryland capitalized on its moment in the second half, though, leading to a score from freshman forward Max Riley, the first of his career.
Head coach Sasho Cirovski elected to start Riley in the second period as his halftime adjustments continued to generate positive results.
“It was a game where I think all of the players who didn’t start really came in and raised the level,” Cirovski said Sunday.
