Maryland Seeded Tenth in NCAA Soccer Tournament, Receive First Round Bye; Terps To Host Winner of Rider v. Virginia Match; Terps to Take Pitch Sunday Evening

BALTIMORE, Maryland November 16, 2015 - The NCAA Selection Committee Gave Maryland the Number Ten Seed in the 48-Team 2015 National Championship Tournament.  All 16 of the seeded teams receive first round byes.  In Maryland's case, it means that the Terps will face-off against the winner of Virginia and Rider, a game to be played Thursday.  Maryland's first tournament match will be Sunday Evening at Ludwig Field, at 5 pm, 

Maryland will go into the tournament with a 10-5-5 record, the 22nd straight season Maryland finished with at least ten wins.  As for Maryland's draw, well, to be honest, it stinks.  Virginia, like Maryland, is a traditional national power.  This wasn't their best season, but their record, 9-4-3 isn't bad at all.  And just to play Maryland, the Cavaliers will have to beat Rider, an under-the-radar team with a gaudy record of 14-5-1.  How did this happen?  Might it be that somebody is tired of seeing Maryland and Virginia in the College Cup?
