SANTA CLARA, Calif. – With a tough test right off the bat, Santa Clara men's soccer battled against No. 6 Maryland Friday night at Stevens Stadium but eventually fell 4-2.
The Broncos stunned the Terrapins with an early goal and were able to hold the lead for more than half of the first period before the Maryland (1-0) offense got things going and scored three goals before the end of the half.
After Brandon Gillingham got the scoring started for Santa Clara (0-1) in the third minute off a failed clear, the Terrapins evened the score in the 27th minute when Eryk Williamson took advantage of a rebound.
