Akron Comes Up Short in College Cup Finale
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The 2018 University of Akron men's soccer team provided an amazing story of perseverance and determination that will long be remembered not for a 1-0 setback to Maryland in the title match of the College Cup on Sunday, Dec. 9, but for a group of 30 student-athletes that came together as one and lifted each other to the pinnacle of their sport while representing their team and school with dignity and class.
A successful penalty kick by Amar Sejdic in the 57th minute (56:35) proved to be the deciding tally that propelled the Terrapins (13-6-4) to capture the national title with a 1-0 triumph.
