MADISON, Wisc. - The No. 11 Maryland men's soccer team erupted for four goals - including two from freshman Sebastian Elney - en route to a 4-1 Big Ten Conference win at Wisconsin Sunday.
Elney - who also scored against No. 25 Georgetown on Wednesday - scored the first and final goals for the Terps. He leads the squad with six goals in 2015.
Mael Corboz and
Alex Crognale also scored for Maryland (4-2-3, 1-0-2 B1G).
Elney put the Terps on the board in the second minute of play after a beautiful finish to the far post following a nice dish from fellow classmate
Eryk Williamson.
Corboz made it a 2-0 contest four minutes later. The senior's shot from long distance went upper 90 on the Badgers. Williamson was credited with his second assist of the match.
Following a Wisconsin goal two minutes later,
Alex Crognale made it a 3-1 match with his second goal of the season in the 28th minute. Corboz was credited with the assist after the restart.
Elney finished the scoring for Maryland with a lofty header in the 51st minute for a 4-1 final.
"It was a great team effort today," head coach
Sasho Cirovski said. "We have been working on our attacking ideas and strengthening the relationships. Today, we saw some great individual skills within our team attacking shape. It was also nice to see our team get off to a winning first half."
Maryland returns to action on Friday with a match against Northwestern at 7:30 pm at Ludwig Field.
