COLLEGE PARK, Md. – University of Maryland senior forward Paul Bin will miss the 2019 season after tearing his left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at training Tuesday morning, Maryland head coach Sasho Cirovski announced Wednesday.
Bin appeared in 21 matches and started 19 as a junior and helped lead the Terps to their fourth national championship in program history. The Seoul, South Korea native scored four goals and added three assists for the season.
"We are heartbroken for Paul," Ciorvski said "In 27 years of coaching, I've never seen a player address a team with so much poise, class and substance when faced with another bout of adversity. A half hour after hearing about his injury, Paul eloquently told the team that he would not allow this challenge to bring him down and instead that he would embrace it, support his teammates and come back even stronger. After what he's been through, it was a remarkable lesson for the whole team and Paul will continue to be a valuable leader for us this season."
Bin intends to take a medical redshirt and return to the field for Maryland's spring season.
"Obviously I'm gutted not to be able to play this season," Bin said. "I know I'll be back stronger. I have an amazing support system with family, friends, my teammates, my coaches and the medical staff at Maryland. I have no doubt that the team is going to do well without me and I'll be supporting them every step of the way."
