Maryland Gets Hot At The Right Time…
Similar to Chicago in MLS, Maryland has gone on a nine game unbeaten streak to move up the college rankings and put them in a solid position for the upcoming ACC tournament. Their most recent result, a 4-1 upset drubbing of the Virginia Cavaliers, was led by the three seniors taking their final bow at home.
The most notable senior on the Maryland team is certainly Stephen King. King is breaking all sorts of records in his senior season and his professional stock is rising as his last college season comes to a close. First off, King has started every game of his college career to this point. That is 89 consecutive starts. What an iron man. That kind of stamina and work rate should benefit a MLS team. He is expected to start tonight when his Terrapins visit North Carolina in their regular season closer. King will no doubt add more games to that impressive record once the ACC and NCAA tournaments get going. Additionally, King has racked up the assists and is moving up the list of all time Maryland players in terms of points. A strong performance in the post-season and then at the combine will put King in the first round of the MLS draft.
Can Maryland go on to give Wake Forest a run for their money in the ACC tournament? In September Wake blanked Maryland in the last game before this nine game unbeaten streak took off. Since then Maryland has put up some impressive results including an impressive 4-0 win over Villanova, a 5-0 defeat of NC State and the recent 4-1 win over UVA. However, the entire nine game streak was played at home. Maryland hasn’t traveled since September 29th when they lost to Wake. It will be interesting to see how they do on the road tonight.
For those of you with Fox Soccer Channel there is another great match up available tonight. Wake Forest will be taking on UVA at 8 pm est. Let’s see if Wake can do what Maryland just did. Or can UVA bounce back and beat the top team in the nation?
