Down 2-0 to fourth-seeded Indiana at halftime, No. 1-seed Maryland men’s soccer needed a sudden response if it wanted a chance at the Big Ten Tournament championship.
Head coach Sasho Cirovski made some crucial adjustments that led to multiple opportunities.
The first came in the 61st minute when freshman forward Colin Griffith drilled the ball from 18 yards out and into the bottom left corner of the net.
The second came in the 65th minute when freshman midfielder Albi Ndrenika lined up for a corner kick. Ndrenika lifted the ball into the goal area where senior defender Chris Rindov jumped through the Hoosiers’ backline and headed the ball toward the net.
