No. 11 Maryland heads to Seattle to face No. 7 Washington on Friday in a nationally televised Big Ten matchup. The Terps enter at 10-3-1, backed by a strong defense, key individual performances and a top-ranked assist leader in Henry Bernstein.

By the Numbers
  • Maryland: 10-3-1; Washington: 9-3-3.
  • Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Oct. 30 at Husky Soccer Stadium; the game airs on Big Ten Network.
  • Bernstein leads the Big Ten with eight assists and averages 0.67 per match.
  • Maryland drew 6,110 fans against Georgetown, the NCAA’s third-largest attendance in 2026.
Yes, But

Maryland’s ranking and recent shutout wins signal strong form, but Washington is also a top-10 opponent and will have home-field advantage in Seattle.

State of Play
  • Goalkeeper Laurin Mack earned his second Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week honor after back-to-back shutouts, including seven saves against Ohio State.
  • Six Terps landed on Top Drawer Soccer’s midseason lists: two among the top 100 players and four among the top 100 freshmen.
What’s Next

Friday’s result will test Maryland against another highly ranked Big Ten team and could strengthen the Terps’ position as the season moves toward its postseason stretch.

Bottom Line

Maryland brings momentum and defensive confidence into a high-stakes road test; containing Washington while making the most of Bernstein’s playmaking could be decisive.
