CHICAGO  – After an electrifying win over No. 1 UCLA on Friday night in front of a record crowd of nearly 8,500, the Maryland men's soccer team swept the Big Ten Conference weekly honors, the league office announced Tuesday.

Freshman Sebastian Elney and junior Cody Niedermeier won top offensive and defensive honors, respectively.

Elney, a forward from Boca Raton, Fla., scored the game-winning goal in the Terps' 2-1 overtime victory over UCLA and added another goal against Akron on Monday night. His goal against UCLA was viewed over 350,000 times online.

Niedermeier was a highlight reel as well, picking up six saves in his first career start at goalkeeper Friday. The junior from Arnold, Md., surrendered one goal in his first action at Ludwig after sustaining two season-ending injuries earlier in his career.

Maryland returns to the pitch on Friday for its Big Ten opener against Michigan at Ludwig Field at 7 p.m. The match will be shown live on the Big Ten Network.
