COLLEGE PARK, Md. -  The Maryland women's soccer team will open its 2021 season on Saturday, February 20 at Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 4:30 p.m.

The game was originally scheduled to be played at Ludwig Field at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, but has been moved to the turf surface at the stadium as a result of Thursday's inclement weather.

This is the first game in Maryland women's soccer history that will be played at Maryland Stadium.

Even though fans will not be able to cheer on the Terps from the stands, you can still be a part of the gameday experience by purchasing a Terrapin Cutout. Click here to learn more.

SERIES HISTORY
  • Maryland is 2-1-2 all-time vs. Michigan State since the series began during Maryland's first season in Big Ten in 2014. Maryland's 1-0 win over the Spartans in 2019 was a memorable one, as Loren Sefcik's lone goal clinched UMD's first-ever Big Ten Tournament berth.

LEONE LADING THE TERPS
  • Ray Leone in his fifth season at the helm for Maryland, a season removed from leading Maryland to its best-ever finish in the B1G. UMD finished 9-8-3 in 2019 and earned a trip to the school's first-ever Big Ten Tournament. The Terps went 5-5-1 in league play to finish sixth in the conference, the highest for a Maryland team.
