Maryland men’s soccer’s goalkeeper is turning in a historically impressive season

Maryland Men’s Soccer Goalkeeper Delivers Outstanding Season

After 14 games, Laurin Mack has allowed only 0.64 goals per game and recorded eight clean sheets. His performance helped Maryland men’s soccer secure a 2-0 victory over Michigan in October.

Early Praise and Proven Talent

Early in the 2025 season, center back Lasse Kelp called Laurin Mack the best goalkeeper in the country. Mack, a German sophomore, has justified this high praise by playing every minute in goal and saving 83% of shots faced — the top save percentage among Big Ten starting goalkeepers and 12th-best nationally.

Legacy and Performance

Joining a Maryland program known for producing top professional goalkeepers like Dayne St., Mack is establishing himself as a standout in the position. So far this season, he has conceded only nine goals and maintained eight clean sheets, which coach Sasho Cirovski views as team achievements.

Growth Beyond Stats

“My English in the beginning [last season] wasn’t as great. I definitely developed in that case.” — Laurin Mack

Mack’s improved English skills have enhanced his communication with defenders and midfielders, allowing him to better organize the team from his unique vantage point.

Key Statistics

Laurin Mack is delivering a season that ranks among Maryland's finest goalkeeping efforts, combining exceptional statistics with crucial leadership and communication on the field.
