Maryland Defeats Akron in College Cup Final
The Terrapins claim their fourth national championship in program history
The Maryland men’s soccer team exploded in celebration on the Merideth Field turf as the final seconds ticked off the clock in the 2018 College Cup Final.
Amar Sejdic scored on a penalty kick in the 57th minute and Maryland held off Akron 1-0 on Sunday night to win its fourth NCAA men’s soccer title.
“It’s a moment that I’ve thought of since I came to Maryland. I knew that if the moment came I wanted to be the guy to step up and take it,” said Sejdic of his decisive goal. “Scoring a goal in a meaningful match like that and celebrating with all the players is something that I’ll remember forever.”
