No. 8 Terps Roll Past Delaware, 4-1, in Home Finale

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — No. 8 Maryland men's soccer dominated against Delaware in its regular season home finale on Tuesday night at Ludwig Field, pulling out a 4-1 win over the Blue Hens. Four different Terps scored in the victory as goalkeeper Jamie Lowell held Delaware scoreless until the 86th minute.

Maryland (9-2-4, 4-0-3 Big Ten) looks to clinch at least a share of the Big Ten championship in its season finale on the road Sunday against Indiana (5-1-2, 3-1-3 Big Ten).

Three of the Terps' scores came during a 30-minute period in the first half in which Griffin Dillon, Stefan Copetti and Justin Harris each netted impressive goals to give the Terps an early cushion. Harris' one-on-one goal came after just the second shot he'd taken all year — and it was his second goal. Mack DeVries added a late score, his second goal of the year.

Maryland held Delaware without a shot for the entire first half. Malcolm Johnston and Dillon each added two assists, while Hunter George, Joshua Bolma and Isaac Ngobu recorded one each.

The Terrapins improve to 9-2-4 on the season, while the Blue Hens fall to 4-10-2.
