MM 1.19: Maryland men’s soccer reveals 2022 spring schedule

This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.

Maryland men’s soccer announced that it will have a five-game spring schedule in 2022, the program revealed earlier this week. Maryland’s first three scheduled games are slated to be league play of the Spring Soccer Cup.

The Terps will start the spring season with a match against Virginia Tech in College Park, Maryland on March 5. They will then face off with Clemson on the road before heading back to College Park to take on NC State on April 2.

The finals matches, which will be determined after the 10 total participating programs in the Spring Soccer Cup are seeded, will be played at Wake Forest. The Terps’ final matchup in the event is scheduled for April 10.

“Our spring schedule in 2022 is a tremendous test for our team,” head coach Sasho Cirovski said in the program’s press release. “I am thrilled to partner with some of the best programs in the nation for the Spring Soccer Cup and the event will give us the chance to measure up against national contenders and old rivals alike. It will be a fantastic event. In addition, our match with West Virginia will pit us against another quality team. I can’t wait to get back to training with our group to start preparing for these matches.”

Maryland also has a scheduled match against West Virginia, which will take place in Morgantown, West Virginia on April 23 to close out the Terps’ five-game schedule.
