With less than a minute remaining and the score knotted at two, freshman forward Kimani Stewart-Baynes lined up for a free kick in a dangerous area.
Curving the ball into the box, all of Maryland men’s soccer’s forwards vied for position near the goal, but none could manage a clear opportunity to shoot. Instead, a quick foul awarded possession to Michigan, and the Terps’ first Big Ten matchup of the season ended in a 2-2 tie, despite them outshooting the Wolverines, 15-6.
“I’m very disappointed with the result today,” head coach Sasho Cirovski said. “We did a number of things well enough to win this game, but once again, we gifted the opposition an easy goal and put ourselves in a hole early in the game.
