Maryland men’s soccer beats Rutgers on penalty kicks, advances in Big Ten tournament

With its Big Ten tournament hopes on the line, Maryland men’s soccer redshirt senior forward Mike Heitzmann had a chance to send the Terps to the semifinals.

He calmly stepped up to the spot in his final game at Ludwig Field and eventually smashed home the ball into the right side of the goal past sophomore goalkeeper Oren Asher to give Maryland the 5-4 advantage in the penalty shootout, which pushed the Terps into the next round of the tournament.

Heitzmann immediately stripped off his black Maryland uniform and waved it around frantically in celebration, as the rest of the Terps mobbed him with joy.
