Freshman Eryk Williamson scored his fifth goal in as many games as the No. 10 Maryland men’s soccer defeated Virginia, 1-0, at Ludwig Field Sunday evening.
The Terrapins (11-5-5) controlled the contest throughout and held a 23-8 shot advantage over the Cavaliers (10-5-3).
“We expected a hard fought game, and we got one, but I think we deserved the result,” head coach Sasho Cirovski said. “I was extremely proud of how our players competed and that we played some beautiful soccer.”
Maryland started the game on the front foot and almost gained the advantage in the fifth minute when junior Alex Crognale saw his header palmed over the bar from a Mael Corboz free kick.
Williamson’s tally came in the 38th minute as he collected a free kick from Corboz and sealed the shot from short range to the right of the goal. The assist was Corboz’s team leading 10th of the season
