Maryland men’s soccer midfielder Mael Corboz’s free kick in the 86th minute of the Big Ten championship game Sunday lifted the Terps to a 2-1 win over Indiana and their first conference title in any sport since they left the ACC.

“There was a large aura of confidence when he stepped up to that ball that something special was going to happen,” Maryland coach Sasho Cirovski said. “Apart from a special goal, this was destined for overtime.”

The Ludwig Field crowd erupted after Corboz’s special goal, a top-shelf missile that was featured on SportsCenter’s Top Plays. Corboz and his teammates ran to celebrate with ‘The Crew,’ the Terps’ loyal supporters section, which on this day featured school president Wallace D. Loh.

Loh, who attended other matches during the season but had not stood with ‘The Crew,’ helped lead a chant after Corboz’s game-winning strike.

Crew member Annie Tsay shared the following video of Corboz’s goal. (Warning: It features a lot of screaming.)

Maryland earned the No. 4 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and will host the winner of Thursday’s match between Wake Forest and UMBC on Sunday in College Park. The Terps are unbeaten in 11 consecutive matches.
