Our guys did a good job and it was nice to come back at Maryland and get the result on the road but we still have a lot of work to do.†In the 15th minute of the game, Maryland scored it first goal coming from a header from Terrapin Jason Herrick. USF did not record a shot on goal in the first half. The Bulls came charging in the second half, outshooting Maryland 5-2. After Herrick received a yellow card, USF took full advantage when senior midfielder Kevon Neaves put it into the back of the net. No more than two minutes later the Bulls went ahead when sophomore midfielder Bernardo Anor received a cross from junior midfielder Armante Marshall that was tabbed into the upper right of the goal. Sophomore goalkeeper Michael Canard shutout the Terrapins in the second half recording two saves. USF finished preseason 1-0-2 and gained their first victory in their all time series against Maryland, prior to being 0-2-0 against them. The Bulls entered Friday's matchup with a pair of ties this preseason, matching the University of Tampa, 0-0, and the U-17 Venezuelan team, 1-1.
