Former Maryland goalkeeper Zack Steffen was named the captain of the United States Men’s National Team for its game against Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday night. He joins Graham Zusi as the second Terp to receive the honor.
It was the first captaincy for the 24-year-old, who made his international debut in a friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Jan. 28, 2018. He’s made 11 appearances since then — including 10 starts — earning his spot as the goalkeeper of the future for a team hoping to make a return to the global spotlight.
Steffen notched three saves, giving him the fifth shutout of his international career, in the team’s 6-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday.
