Scouting The Terps
• After defeating Alabama, 2-1, last Thursday and dropping a 1-0 decision to Fordham on Sunday., Maryland heads into ACC play with a 4-2-1 record.
• The Terrapins opened the 2012 season with a 3-0 shutout at Navy (recap | stats) that featured a one-hour 46-minute lightning delay. Becky Kaplan scored the first two goals of the season for Maryland, while Alex Reed tallied the insurance goal. Four freshmen - Aubre Baker,Riley Barger, Shannon Collins and Sarah Molina - recorded assists in their first collegiate games.
• Maryland had a short turnaround for a match at Villanova that ended in a 0-0 tie (recap | stats). Shannon Zickler filled in for Rachelle Beanlands in net for the Terps and made four saves to record her first career shutout.
• The Terps outshot the Buckeyes, 19-10, but Ohio State took advantage of a Maryland defensive lapse to pull out a 1-0 upset (recap | stats) in Columbus, Ohio.
• Maryland fell behind George Mason 1-0, but scored the game's final three goals to earn a 3-1 win over the Patriots on Aug. 31 (Hayley Brock and freshman Alexis Prior-Brown each had one helper.
• Senior Hayley Brock each chipped in a goal and an assist as Maryland thumped Towson, 5-0 (recap | stats), in the Terps' 2012 home opener. Senior Becky Kaplan scored the first goal of the game for Maryland, giving her her third game-winning goal of the season. Redshirt freshman Amanda Gerlitz and freshman Gabby Galanti each earned their first career assists in the victory.
• Senior Hayley Brock assisted on both of Kaplan's goals with senior Olivia Wagner also getting an assist on the game-winner.
• A 30-yard strike into the upper left 90 by Kristina Maksuti in the 70th minute gave Fordham a 1-0 upset (recap | stats) of Maryland on Sept. 9 at Ludwig Field. The Terps held a 29-5 shot advantage over the Rams and had 13 corner kicks to Fordham's 0.
Scouting The Tar Heels
• North Carolina is sitting at 4-1-1 overall this season after thumping San Diego, 5-0, on Sunday at the Duke Classic.
• Since opening the season with a 1-0 loss at Portland and a 0-0 tie with Florida at home, the Tar Heels have rattled off four straight victories - all coming via shutout. UNC defeated Montreal, 1-0 in overtime, and then headed to the Notre Dame Invitational where the Tar Heels topped UConn, 2-0, and the host Irish, 1-0. Before beating San Diego, Carolina pasted Marquette, 4-0, last Friday in Durham, N.C.
Series History vs. the Tar Heels
• This will be the 34th time Maryland and Carolina will meet on the pitch. Maryland trails in the all-time series 2-30-1.
• The 2011 "Senior Night" will be one no one will soon forget as Maryland came from behind to topple No. 8 North Carolina, 2-1 in overtime (Hayley Brock, who finished into the lower left corner of the net to send the match in OT. In the 98th minute, Becky Kaplan scored the game-winner, also finishing into the lower left corner. Megan Gibbons and Sade Ayinde picked up the assists on the game-winning goal. Yewande Balogun made five saves for Maryland, but she was helped by two big team saves from Annesia Faulkner and Gibbons in holding the Tar Heels to just a single goal.
• In 2010 history was made in the 32nd meeting between the Terps and North Carolina on Sunday, Oct. 24. Junior Sade Ayinde scored twice in the final 12 minutes to lead Maryland to its first-ever victory over the No. 2-ranked Tar Heels (recap | final stats). Carolina took an early lead and held that all the way through the 78th minute when a long goal kick by redshirt junior Yewande Balogun went over the UNC backline and Ayinde ran onto it and finished with a one-timer off the outside of her right boot. Ayinde then game Maryland the lead in the 86th minute off of a free kick, which was set up by junior Jasmyne Spencer, who was fouled just outside of UNC 18. Ayinde then took the free kick and sent it under the wall and into the right side of the net.
Youth Movement
• Just six games into the 2012 season and the Terrapins have already played 14 true or redshirt freshmen. That might not seem too significant until noticing that Maryland's freshmen have played more than 41% of the team's on-field minutes. Freshmen have logged 3,002 of the team's 7,150 minutes (650 minutes played x 11 players).
• But the Terp freshmen aren't just playing - they're contributing. Six freshmen - Ashley Spivey, Shannon Collins, Riley Barger, Sarah Molina, Rachelle Beanlands and Erika Nelson - have started for the Terps this season with Spivey and Collins starting every game. Freshmen have totaled 15 of the team's 46 points this season (32.6%).
Head Coach
Jonathan Morgan
• Jonathan Morgan enters his first season at the helm of the Maryland women's soccer program after spending the previous five seasons on the Terrapin sideline as an assistant coach. He is 4-2-1 as the Terps' head coach.
Terps Toppling Top 10 Teams
• Maryland has defeated a Top 10 ranked team 18 times in its history.

The Terrapins defeated No. 2 Boston College on Oct. 7 in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Those two victories mark the first time in program history that Maryland has defeated two Top 10 teams in a single month. The Terps then added to that with another 2-1 win over No. 8 Florida State on Oct. 28. The latest Top 10 win for the Terps came on Oct. 27 at Ludwig Field when Maryland defeated No. 8 North Carolina for the first time ever at Ludwig Field.

• The Terps won their 100th match at Ludwig Field with a 6-0 victory over Iona on Aug. 20, 2010. Since its opening in 1995, Ludwig Field has proved to be a tremendous home-field advantage for the Terps women's soccer team. All-time Maryland is 116-48-21 (.684) at Ludwig Field.
