“Our goal in building our schedule every season is to play the best competition possible to prepare us for the postseason, and this schedule accomplishes that goal,” Cirovski said. “I am excited to once again see our players take the field in front of The Crew and our community. We have the best fans in college soccer and I can’t wait to see you all in August.”
The Terps open the season just up the road at UMBC on Thursday, Aug. 22 before the home opener against Georgetown on Sunday, Aug. 25. The first Friday Night Lights match of the season at Ludwig Field takes place Aug. 30 against Detroit.
