SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Three months ago, it looked like the season was getting away from Maryland men’s soccer. After the first four matches of 2018, the Terrapins were not only winless, they were also scoreless. And through 76 minutes of the Sept. 10 match against West Virginia, a zero still showed on the scoreboard.
But in that 77th minute, Maryland’s captains combined for the jumping-off point of the season. Chase Gasper crossed the ball into a crowded box, and Amar Sejdic’s deflection put it in the back of the net for the team’s first goal of the season.
