The Terps’ victory over No. 15 Michigan on Friday was their first win over a ranked conference opponent this season.
The Terps are coming off a 6-0 victory over Saint Francis, tied for their largest shutout win since 2012.
The win marks Maryland’s first of the year after its initial season opener was canceled and ruled a no contest.
Maryland head coach Sasho Cirovski was given a red card just before halftime for complaints about a penalty awarded to Rutgers.
Leon Koehl’s penalty taking skills were missed by the Terps, who were unable to convert on a penalty inside the first ten minutes to take an early lead.
Maryland sits in last in the Big Ten despite a determined effort against Michigan State that earned the team a 2-2 draw.
