WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University men's soccer team will host the University of Maryland on Saturday at Shaw Field in a noon matchup between the two storied programs. The game was originally scheduled for later in the week, but changed spring break plans allowed the squads to move the contest to Saturday.
The game is part of the Spring Soccer Cup which features 10 of the elite programs in college soccer. The 10 schools were split into a North Division (Georgetown, Maryland, James Madison, Virginia, Virginia Tech) and a South Division (Clemson, Duke, NC State, North Carolina, Wake Forest). Each program plays a round robin within its division throughout the spring season, which began in late February. At the Spring Soccer Cup on April 19, the teams will play one playoff match against the coinciding seed from the opposite division.
Last weekend, the Hoyas tied Virginia Tech 2-2 in the opening spring game. Georgetown gained the seeding advantage in penalty kicks winning 7-6.
Saturday's contest at Shaw Field is scheduled for noon and admission is free to all fans.
