Box Score COLLEGE PARK, MD -- The Terps dropped a home match against No. 16 Northwestern, 2-0, on Friday evening at Ludwig Field. The match was the start of a four-game homestand.
The Wildcats notched goals in the 43rd and 53rd minutes.
Brian St. Martin made his first start and first appearance of the season.
Sasho Cirovski's Take
"With the performance tonight, we deserved better than we got. I'm very encouraged by the effort, the quality, the chances we created, and the way we played. Ultimately, they made the one really nice goal off our turnover in the first half and the one in the second half was off a really poor turnover to give them a two-goal lead. Otherwise, we hit the crossbar probably three or four times, the keeper made three or four point-blank saves. Those will start going in at some point we have to just keep believing and keep doing the things we're doing."
From Copetti
"Our 4-4-2 created a lot of opportunities for us, but unfortunately we couldn't capitalize today. The good thing is we're getting in those spots, we're getting the chances, and it'll come. I believe in this team, I believe in myself. It's only a matter of time before the goals start coming."
