Background[edit]

Main article: 2018 Maryland Terrapins men's soccer team

The Maryland Terrapins entered the 2019 season as the defending national champions, winning their first national title since 2008, their fourth NCAA National title, and their fifth claimed national title.[1][2] During the regular season, the Terrapins posted a relatively poor record of 7–6–3 overall, and 4–4 in Big Ten play.[3] In the 2018 Big Ten Conference Men's Soccer Tournament, the Terrapins defeated Michigan State in the quarterfinals before losing to Indiana in the semis. Despite this, the Terrapins had a strong Top 20 RPI and earned an at-large berth into the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament as an 11 seed, allowing them to earn a second round bye. During their tournament won, they did not concede a single goal, and won all their matches in regulation time. Maryland midfielder, Amar Sejdič and Dayne St. Clair earned the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament Most Outstanding Player award for offense and defense, respectively.[4]
