Steve Zerhusen '78, UMBC's standout men's soccer goalkeeper who would go on to play for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, reflects on his favorite Retriever sports moment:

It was a scoreless 90 minutes of regulation where I would say we had the better of the action. Late in the game, (current UMBC men’s soccer coach) Pete Caringi – who was an All-American senior for University of Baltimore and a dangerous finisher – came in one-on-one on a through ball. I came out of the goal and met him at the top of the box. He tried to go to my right, but I dove and grabbed the ball.
