CARY, N.C. - The Maryland Terrapins moved into the semifinals of the 2004 ACC Men's Soccer Championship with a 2-0 win over the Clemson Tigers Wednesday night at the SAS Soccer Complex. Senior forward Abe Thompson registered the game-winner off a penalty kick at 15:49 of the first half. The win advances the Terrapins into the semifinals of the conference tournament for the third consecutive year.

Maryland struck for an early 1-0 lead when the Terps were awarded a penalty kick in the 16th minute of action. Thompson connected on the pk for his 11th goal of the season to remain perfect (3-for-3) in penalty kicks on the year. With the score, Thompson became the all-time leading scorer at Maryland with 110 points running his career numbers to 43 goals and 24 assists.

In the second half, the Terrapins increased their lead to 2-0 off a goal from Jason Garey. It was his team leading 17th score of the season.
