COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- With five wins in its last six matches, the Maryland women's soccer team looks to close out the season with a win at Florida State on Sunday in Tallahassee Fla. The Terps can secure the No. 2 seed at the 1999 ACC Tournament with a win over the Seminoles and if North Carolina defeat Wake Forest on Sunday afternoon. Currently, Maryland is in sole possession of third place in the ACC with a 3-2-1 record behind North Carolina (6-0), which has clinched the No. 1 seed for the 10th time in 11 years and Wake Forest, which is currently 4-2 in the ACC.
Should Maryland win at Florida State, the Terps would finish 4-2-1 in the ACC, which would be the team's best-ever record in conference play since varsity action began in 1987. Maryland's previous best finish was at 4-3-0 in 1995 and 1997. If Maryland finishes second, it would be the first time they would have finished higher than third in the league. The Terps previously finished third in the ACC in 1995 and 1997. The ACC Tournament gets underway Thursday, Nov. 4 at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C. No. 1 (North Carolina) plays No. 8 (Florida State), No. 2 plays No. 7 (Duke), No. 3 plays No. 6 (NC State) and No. 4 plays No. 4.
