A rotating cast of first-teamers got the better of the University of Maryland in a match at Talen Energy Stadium on Tuesday morning.
For the Philadelphia Union, Tuesday morning's scrimmage with the University of Maryland was a chance to try different formations and cycle in some players who haven't seen much game action with the first team.
For Sasho Cirovski and his Maryland Terps it was a chance to challenge themselves against a level of competition several hope to reach beyond their time in College Park.
Two minutes into the match, the disparity between a team in first place in the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer and a top college program in spring exhibition training mode was clear.
