Rutgers men’s soccer (4-4-1) may have had its season end in heartbreak following a penalty shootout loss to Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament last weekend, but it only reinforced how far this program has come in such a short time.
The Scarlet Knights defeated the 2018 national champions earlier this season 2-0, which marked the first victory against the Terps as Big Ten foes. In Saturday’s rematch in the Big Ten Quarterfinals, Maryland entered the contest winners of four straight games. Despite that fact, RU gave the Terps all they could handle for 120 minutes before falling painfully short in the penalty shootout.
