Former Terp Taylor Twellman recently chatted with College Soccer Online prior to his departure for Germany where he will join the reserves on the 1860 Munich club. Check out Taylor's questions and answer session on College Soccer Online in the news section.

Twellman was the Terps' leading scorer this past season for the second straight year with 12 goals and nine assists for 33 points. The Missouri native was named first-team All South-Atlantic, received first team All-ACC recognition for the second time in two years, and was named to Soccer America's Team of the Week twice during the 1999 regular season. The ACC Player of the Week for the week of Sept. 20, he scored six game-winners for the Terps in 1999, including a golden-goal header past All-American William & Mary keeper Adin Brown. In 1998, Twellman was named Soccer America and College Soccer Online's Freshman Player of the Year and was a member of the NCAA all-tournament team after leading the Terps to their first Final Four since 1969.

Maryland finished its 1999 season at 14-6 and took its sixth-straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. The team was ranked in the NSCAA's top 10 for 12 out of 13 weeks this season. The Terrapins also received their first-ever No. 1 ranking by Soccer America and held onto the top-spot for two weeks.
