Maryland men’s soccer trotted out to Ludwig Field on Saturday night, picking up a 2-0 shutout victory over American in an exhibition match. The contest marked the second of three preseason matches for the Terps this season.
Maryland opened its preseason slate Friday night against another local foe in VCU. Friday’s exhibition was closed to the public, but the Terps and the Rams drew at one goal apiece.
Head coach Sasho Cirovski’s squad started Saturday’s game without cracking the scoresheet, entering halftime knotted at zero with the Eagles. However, Maryland struck quickly in the second half. Senior forward Hunter George scored the game-winning goal in the 50th minute, and freshman forward Max Riley tapped in an insurance goal later in the game.
