Maryland men's soccer beats Indiana in penalty kicks to advance to Big Ten Championship

The Terps advanced to the Big Ten Championship in an incredible sudden-death shootout.

Maryland men's soccer advanced to the Big Ten Tournament Championship with an incredible 3-2 victory in penalty kicks over Indiana Friday in Columbus, Ohio.

Freshman Connor Smith, who had yet to find the net this season, scored the winning goal.

Indiana surprised many by bringing on junior Christian Lomeli, who hadn't played a minute all season, to play goalkeeper in penalty kicks. Lomeli was equal to Cody Niedermeier, as the keepers traded back-to-back-to-back-to-back saves after Indiana took a 2-1 penalty-kick lead. Indiana's Colin Webb, who spent the entirety of regulation and overtime in goal for the Hoosiers, then exchanged misses with Maryland's David Kabelik to send it into sudden death.
