ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's soccer team fell 3-2 to No. 14 Maryland on Friday (Oct. 16) at U-M Soccer Stadium.

Grayson Elmquist scored his team-leading fifth goal to knot the match at one in the first half, and Guy Michaeli scored his first career goal to tie the game at two in the 85th minute.

In his third start of the season, Isaiah Goldson registered seven saves and notched his first career assist on Elmquist's marker.

Michigan (3-5-4, 0-3-3 Big Ten) generated early pressure in the opening period, registering initial shot attempts from Elmquist, Michael Ramirez and Guy Michaeli. Maryland goalkeeper Laurin Mack stopped two shots in the first half to preserve the early lead before Elmquist equalized. Goldson recorded two saves in the opening 45 minutes for Michigan.

In the second half, Maryland (8-3-1, 3-3-1 Big Ten) intensified its attack, forcing Goldson to make five saves after halftime. Michigan continued to create chances with second-half shots from Landon Strohmeyer and Thomas Fraser before Michaeli brought the Maize and Blue back level. The Terrapins took the final lead of the match in the 85th minute on a deflected ball in the box to secure the win.
