Patrick Mullins scored his sixth goal of the season, and top-ranked Maryland gained its sixth shutout victory Friday with a 1-0 home win over Virginia. The win avenged a 2-1 loss last season to the Cavaliers, a defeat suffered when Maryland was also ranked no. 1.
Despite the tight score, Maryland totally dominated play, out-shooting Virginia, (5-5-1, 1-3-0), 17-4. Maryland now waits for always-tough Rutgers to come to College Park, which they will on Tuesday night. Last season the Scarlet Knights and Terps were tied late in the second half, but a big and physical Rutgers team was dominating play when they drew a red card. The Scarlet Knights then went into a defensive shell and played for the tie, but Maryland scored in overtime for the win.
Meanwhile, in south London Saturday, homestanding Crystal Palace allowed visiting Burnley to push ahead, 3-1, before storming back to win, 4-3. The loss leaves the Claret still at 11 points on the npower Championship table. The three points earned by Crystal Palace pushed them into a tie for third place with 19 points.
