Maryland athletics face setbacks in soccer and football

Maryland's athletic programs are facing recent challenges across both soccer and football. The women’s soccer team suffered its largest loss of the season, falling 4-0 to Minnesota. This marked the team's sixth consecutive loss and continued a struggle to score against Big Ten opponents.

In football, head coach Mike Locksley addressed recent scrutiny following a 54-3 loss to UCLA. Despite calls for his dismissal, Locksley stated that his position has not been under internal fire from athletic director Jim Smith. The Terrapins are preparing for a conference road game against Nebraska at Memorial Stadium.
