No. 20 Maryland men’s soccer defeats No. 9 New Hampshire, 2-1, in season opener

With both offenses stagnant in the second half, the game was free for the taking as No. 20 Maryland men’s soccer held a one goal lead over No. 9 New Hampshire.

The Terps desperately needed to create offense and extend their lead against a ranked opponent. Maryland found its reliable redshirt sophomore star Joshua Bolma. The forward received a pass from junior defender Alex Nitzl and made his move.

Dribbling towards the goal line, Bolma planted his foot and sent a missile to the edge of the goal area. Freshman forward Colin Griffith was in perfect position, redirecting the pass straight into the center of the goal for the first time in his young career, giving Maryland a 2-0 lead in the 75th minute.
