Maryland’s women’s soccer will play the opening game of their 2020-21 season this Saturday against Michigan State, more than four months after fall sports were postponed due to the disastrous pandemic. Ray Leone continues to rebuild the team in his fifth season as head coach, and with some postseason play under his belt, this could be the year the team makes a splash in the tough Big Ten conference.
Last season, Leone’s squad finished 9-8-3, including a 5-5-1 record in conference play, which was its best mark since joining the league and enough for the team to qualify for its first ever Big Ten tournament.
