# 2018 Maryland Terrapins men's soccer team

The 2018 Maryland Terrapins men's soccer team represented the University of Maryland, College Park during the 2018 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. It was the 73rd season of the university fielding a program. The Terrapins were led by 26th year head coach, Sasho Cirovski.
Despite a relatively poor regular season performance in Big Ten play, a strong RPI allowed the Terps to earn an at-large berth as the 11th seed in the NCAA Tournament. In the tournament, the Terps went on their 14th ever College Cup run.

## Background

Ahead of the 2018 season, seven year assistant coach, Brian Rowland, left Maryland to take the head coaching position at Temple.
