Maryland men’s soccer vs. Indiana preview

Share All sharing options for: Maryland men’s soccer vs. Indiana preview

Maryland men’s soccer is looking to build on the momentum of its biggest victory of the season — a 3-0 win over then-No. 8 Wisconsin — on Friday night at Indiana.

The Terps will play on the road for the first time since their season opener on Aug. 22. The game will be the first of two-straight road games, with Maryland traveling to No. 14 Northwestern next Friday.

The game will kick-off at 7 p.m. and be broadcasted on Big Ten Network.

Indiana Hoosiers (2-2-3, 1-0-0 Big Ten)

The Hoosiers are a constant presence at the top of the Big Ten men’s soccer table, winning four Big Ten Tournaments in the last six years.

Although it struggled in nonconference play — winning just one of six nonconference games — Indiana remains a danger in the Big Ten, defeating Rutgers, 1-0, last Friday.

Indiana is one of the only programs with a winning record against the Terps under 32-year head coach Sasho Cirovski, as Maryland is 5-8-8 against the Hoosiers during his tenure.

Players to watch

Tommy Mihalic, senior forward, No. 10 — Indiana has scored just seven goals through the first seven games. More than half of them have come from Mihalic. He has scored four times, including the deciding goal against Rutgers, along with an assist. Mihalic will be the primary focus of Maryland’s defense Friday.

JT Harms, graduate goalie, No. 1 — Fresh off a second-team All-Big Ten selection, Harms picked up right where he left off, getting off to an impressive start in 2024. Highlighted by a seven-save performance against Butler, Harms has made 18 saves and allowed just eight goals this year.

Justin Weiss, graduate forward, No. 7 — Weiss, a transfer from Northwestern, has yet to produce thus far in 2024 as he has been working his way back from an injury. That being said, his record of production with the Wildcats earned him two first-team All-Big Ten nods, and the threat of him regaining his form against the Terps is enough to make him a player to gameplan around.

Experience. The Hoosiers have just two players in their starting 11 with less than three years of collegiate experience. Maryland will be facing off against a team that has seen plenty of high-stakes Big Ten action and aren’t likely to be taken by surprise easily.

Goalscoring. The Hoosiers are talented on offense but have not been able to produce as such, scoring just one goal per game. If Indiana wants to win, it will have to produce goals against a stout Maryland defensive unit that looked better than ever against Wisconsin last Friday.

Three things to watch

1. How will the Terps travel? Maryland’s lone road game thus far in 2024 was its season opener, which took place 45 minutes away at UMBC. This will be its first true road test against what should be a rowdy Indiana crowd.

2. Cirovski’s tactics. After realizing their best offensive performance of the year against Wisconsin, it stands to reason that Cirovski will return to the 4-3-3 formation that helped the Terps produce prolifically. However, Cirovski has consistently stated that he values formations and systems far less than “principles of play,” so this facet of the game will certainly be something to monitor.

3. Can Griffith keep scoring? Colin Griffith has potted two beautiful goals in Maryland’s last two games. He will likely lead the Terps up top again on Friday, and if he can remain in his recent form, it will provide a massive offensive boost.

Travel Program

About susc travel program.

In years past, teams from the Eastern Shore traveled across the bridge to play games with the hope of giving a respectable performance. Wins were celebrated but not expected. In the last two years, Salisbury United SC has changed that dynamic.  Our Girls and Boys teams have now captured multiple EDP league championships, prestigious Bethesda Invitational, Jefferson Cup, Hempfield Classic, and Baltimore Mania titles (just to name a few).  Many of our teams currently hold top 20 Maryland State rankings . For the upcoming season, we seek to raise the bar even higher. Our philosophy will remain the same:

-Develop individual technical proficiency/superiority -Encourage possession with purpose attacking style of play -Foster a life long love for the game -Build exemplary character on and off field

In order to accomplish these goals, we will demand strong effort, commitment, and passion from our travel players. While there is some variation depending on age, expect rigorous and ambitious training schedules, league play, and tournaments throughout the season will be the norm.  If you are interested in joining or continuing with our travel program, click here for tryout information.

Men’s soccer, with season at pivotal moment, tackles new ACC landscape

Needing three points, virginia treks to california for its first taste of conference expansion.

Senior defender Luc Mikula during a training session Friday at California. 

It is early yet for Virginia men’s soccer. The season is, after all, just six games old. But the pressure, distant a week ago, is slowly mounting. 

The Cavaliers’ meeting Saturday with California seems ordinary — early in the season, nothing officially at stake — but that is deceiving. This is a case of a season’s most important game masquerading as a common contest. This is a case of a team terribly needing a win.

“It’s the most important thing for our season,” sophomore defender Brendan Lambe said Wednesday. “Really. I don’t think there’s any other way to put it. We have to win.”

If Lambe and company win, a 23-day winless period evaporates and three crucial conference points arrive. A loss or a draw, against a California team nailed to the conference’s floor, would calcify the cloud of pressure into a minor crisis. 

The game leaps off the calendar for another reason. Not since 2014 has Virginia traveled west of South Bend, Ind., in the regular season, and not since 2009 has it gone to the west coast in the regular season.

Until this season, it remained a choice for a team to safari out west, a voluntary endeavor. Many top eastern programs did it anyway, staging appetizing games against the top teams out west. Coach George Gelnovatch did not. 

“I think it makes no sense, given how compact the college soccer season is,” he said Wednesday.

Gelnovatch insisted he never judged other programs for doing it. To him, it just never made sense — James Madison, a strong program, sits an hour down the road. 

“Go over there and play them,” Gelnovatch said. “Or go to Maryland. They’re a top 25 RPI. Instead of flying 3,000 miles, beating the heck out of my team and then coming and trying to play in the ACC.”

Starting this season, Gelnovatch has no choice. Flying 3,000 miles is now part of playing in the ACC, after the conference added California, Stanford and Southern Methodist in August.

Gelnovatch favored the additions, he said. They bolstered the league’s strength, impossible as that seems. The Cardinal and the Mustangs have lounged among the sport’s top programs recently, and Gelnovatch says the Golden Bears are on the rise.

But Saturday represents Virginia’s first encounter with the more annoying aspect of expansion. Cross-country travel is a logistical headache. Gelnovatch has, in his long career, developed what he calls a scheduling template, where the program thoughtfully weighs its scheduling choices.

“We really are almost kind of scientific about how we do our scheduling,” Gelnovatch said. “And so the Cal trip, in particular, throws a wrench into that.”

It wrecks that perfectly molded template and causes Virginia to avoid playing midweek games before and after their trip to California. That leaves a scheduling quirk, with consecutive weeks without a midweek game.

But that may not be a bad thing. Typical college soccer schedules are crushingly dense, leaving no time to breathe in between games. Recovery becomes a premium. The midweek openings, though, allow time for hard training sessions.

“We’ve got some really meaningful training sessions in,” Gelnovatch said. “And we’ve gotten some guys back from injury.”

By the time of Saturday’s kickoff, it will be over three weeks without a win for Gelnovatch and the Cavaliers. The stretch started with an away draw against Maryland, a respectable result but one that could have been a win if not for a couple missed chances. Then came a home loss to Duke and a draw against Wake Forest.

Virginia missed a penalty in the first half against the Demon Deacons that would have given them a 2-0 lead. The Cavaliers seemed likely to put away the game in the first half, but in the second they resorted to hunkering down and fighting for their life, clinging to the solitary point.

“Not the end of the world,” Gelnovatch said about the draw. “By any stretch of the imagination. But the expectation is for three points.”

That expectation has gone unfulfilled, but plenty of positives have materialized. The defending has been resolute, senior goalkeeper Joey Batrouni has been his stalwart self and the chances, at times, have flowed. Virginia is just waiting on some sort of magical click, the moment when everything coalesces.

That click happened last year. Virginia started 3-2-0, with a troubling loss to Loyola Marymount, and recovered to launch a 10-game unbeaten run and earn the NCAA Tournament No. 7 seed. It happened the year before, too — a 3-3-0 start, including getting beaten down by Maryland, that the team turned around on its way to the No. 4 seed.

This click could start Saturday. Virginia flew out Thursday and will return on a Saturday red-eye flight after playing at 4 p.m. PST. Then the team will have almost a week to prepare to host Stanford, the nation’s top-ranked team. 

That game will have some extra significance for Lambe, who knows some people at Stanford. They have been chirping him a bit, he said, from all the way across the country. The prospect of conference expansion and of competing against good teams is exciting for him.

When asked about the cross-country trip, he laughed. There are the hardships of travel, schlepping to the opposite coast, acclimating to the time change and the weather and the environment. Then there is keeping up at one of the country’s best academic institutions while doing all that.

“I’m kind of thinking about school,” Lambe said. “Got a few tests to make up.”

His biggest test, though, may be on the field. That one arrives Saturday, when Lambe will try to help his team notch a crucial victory.
