COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland men’s soccer sophomore William Kulvik was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday afternoon.
Kulvik played all 180 minutes in Maryland’s 1-0-1 weekend against No. 9 New Hampshire and Liberty. The centerback paired with Chris Rindov in the center of the Maryland defense and helped the Terps allow just three shots on goal over the two matches. Kulvik also recorded his first career goal against Liberty.
The Oslo, Norway native is the Terps’ second straight Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after Ryan Blumberg earned the award in the final week of the 2021 regular season.
No. 9 Maryland returns to action Friday night against No. 20 Denver. Kickoff from Ludwig Field is set for 7:30 p.m. The first 2,000 people signed up for The Crew will receive the 2022 official The Crew t-shirt.
