Maryland women’s soccer secured a 2-1 victory over Navy, with sophomore Ellie Egeland scoring in the 35th minute after capitalizing on a defensive mistake. The Terps, now 4-1 and undefeated at home, look to continue their momentum against Florida, having lost their previous matchup in August.
Three things to know
1. Righting the ship at home. Maryland is undefeated at home in its first four games. It’s the team’s best start at Ludwig Field since 2017.
2. Taking advantage of mistakes. The Terps’ two goals on the night came off Navy mistakes. Maryland’s ability to capitalize on what its opponent was willing to give it proved crucial in the defense-heavy match.
3. A test is looming. Maryland’s next game will provide an early season assessment. Florida will come to College Park Sunday as the only SEC opponent on the Terps’ schedule. Continuing its run through the weekend could be crucial for Maryland, with conference play starting against Penn State two games after.
