For all you soccer fans out there, I thought I would be nice and report that the Maryland Terrapins men’s soccer team defeated North Carolina 1-0, to win the National Title.

“Our goal at the beginning of the year was to be the last team standing,” Marylan coach Cirovski said. “There was a time when we didn’t think we had the fiber of a champion. But after Clemson, we challenged the players. This is the most balanced team I’ve had. This team set the gold standard for wins and shutouts [15, also a team record].”

Maryland soccer star Graham Zusi scored the winning goal.

“It’s being in the right place at the right time, trying to step up when the team needs me most,” said Zusi who was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Offensive Player. “I was able to curl it around [Haggerty].”

The Terrapins ended the season with a 23-3 record but they finished their season with an impressive team record 16 game win streak.
