The No. 6 Spartans took on the No. 3 Maryland Terrapins Friday night under the lights at DeMartin Stadium in front of a energetic, record breaking 4,678 people in attendance, and came away with a 0-0 tie after playing two overtimes.

This was the first tie for the Spartans season, making their record 7-0-1 on the season.

The Terrapins were aggressive offensively, shooting a whopping 20 shots with seven shots on goal which resulted in seven saves from goalkeeper Jimmy Hague. 

While the Terps aimed for quantity in the terms of shots, MSU went for quality shooting nine shots with six of them being shots on goal.

Forward DeJuan Jones led MSU in shots with three and shots on goal with that same amount. Forward Gordon Wild, led the Terps with six shots and four shots on goal.
