ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's soccer team (1-2-2) will open Big Ten Conference play on Thursday (Sept. 14) when it travels to Maryland for a 7 p.m. contest on B1G+.
Notes:
• The Wolverines are 64-71-22 all-time in Big Ten Conference play and are looking for their first title since the 2017 season.
• Under head coach Chaka Daley, Michigan is 3-5-3 in B1G Conference openers after falling to Maryland in the conference opener in 2022.
• Freshman Alex Waggoner has scored two goals for the Wolverines as he added his second on the road at Creighton. The Santa Fe, N.M., native leads Michigan with four points on the season and has an .800 shots on goal percentage -- putting eight of his 10 shots on frame.
• Junior Michael Leon has come into his junior season strong and healthy, making an appearance in all five matches and recording a point in the last two games for Michigan. Leon scored his first collegiate goal at Bowling Green and followed it up with an assist at Creighton.
• Freshman Isaiah Goldson played his first minutes between the pipes at Creighton as he came in in the second half of action. The Oakville, Ontario, Canada native stopped all four shots he faced in his first career appearance.
