storylines
• Maryland brings a three-game winning streak into its conference opener, with victories over Hartford, Georgetown and South Florida.
• Gordon Wild was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts in a pair of matches last weekend. Wild scored the game-winning goal on a follow-up from a missed penalty kick attempt with 44 seconds remaining to down rival Georgetown in front of the fourth-largest crowd in Ludwig Field history. The Cologne, Germany, native then added two more goals in a 4-1 rout of South Florida Monday. He also notched his first career assist with the Terrapins. Wild currently leads the Big Ten in goals (5) and points (11).
• Maryland's offense has been stellar thus far. The Terps are second nationally in goals scored (12) and have scored the most goals through the four games since the 2012 season (15).
• Last season, the Terps edged Indiana in penalty kicks in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament in Columbus. Cody Niedermeier was sensational in the penalty kick round, saving the final four attempts by the Hoosiers after the Terps fell down 2-1 early. The redshirt junior also made six saves in regulation.
