The Terps, ranked No. 14 nationally in the United Soccer Coaches preseason poll, won the regular-season conferebce title last season in dramatic fashion, with forward Stefan Copetti scoring late in the team’s last game to clinch the trophy.

Indiana, last year’s national runner-up, is ranked second, with Ohio State, Rutgers and Penn State rounding out the top five.
