1968 Maryland Terrapins men's soccer team


The 1968 Maryland Terrapins men's soccer team represented the University of Maryland, College Park during the 1968 NCAA soccer season. It was the program's 23rd season of existence and their 20th season in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The 1968 season was the first season where the Maryland Terrapins men's soccer program claimed a NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship, earning co-champion honors with Michigan State. The Terrapins were led by freshman Rocco Morelli, who scored a season-record 20 goals for the Terrapins. Since the 2017 season, it is the most goals in a college soccer season an individual has posted. Morelli also led the team with 46 total points, which remained the most points per individual in a season until Jason Garey broke the record in 2004. Midfielder, Larry Ruhs led Maryland in assists on the season, tallying seven total assists.
At the time, it was the Terps third ever season where they finished undefeated, and their first since 1958. To date, it is the most recent season where Maryland finished a season undefeated.
