Herrick's goal in overtime lifts No. 1 Maryland over Cal
Jason Herrick scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime in the 96th minute on a feed from Drew Yates, to lift the No. 1 Maryland men's team over No. 8 California, 2-1, on a rainy Sunday night at Ludwig Field. Herrick's goal with 4:41 elapsed in the game provided Maryland (1-1) with the early lead, and Cal tied it at 77:31. "It was a great response from Friday's difficult loss" against UCLA, Terps coach Sasho Cirovski said. "Once again we played well in the first half, and this time we rewarded ourselves with one goal. Our guys stood tall and came back with their own great response in overtime. I think we grew up a lot tonight."
Loyola men: : Despite taking a combined 42 shots, neither the Greyhounds (1-1-1) nor host Quinnipiac (0-0-2) could find the net on Monday. Kyle Wittman made three saves for Loyola and recorded his first college shutout.

Carissa Youker scored in the third minute as Navy (5-0-1) earned a 1-0 win over host Miami (3-2-0) to capture the Hurricane Cup on Sunday in temperatures nearing 100 degrees. The victory was the Midshipmen's first over an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent in nine tries. "Today was just an unbelievable effort on everyone's part," Navy coach Carin Gabarra said. "Right from the start, we were physically and mentally strong, and when we come out like that, I believe we can play with anybody."
Maryland: : The Terps (5-0-0), fresh off their 1-0 victory over traditional powerhouse Santa Clara on Friday, entered the Soccer America Top 25 at No. 18 this week. This is Maryland's first time in the rankings since finishing the 2004 regular season at No. 19. The Terps are off to their best start to a season since the 1996 team opened 14-0-1.
