Maryland Bays

Former American Soccer League team

The Maryland Bays were an inaugural franchise of the third incarnation of the American Soccer League in 1988.[1] They were based in Catonsville, Maryland, and played their games at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. The team joined the American Professional Soccer League in 1990 when the ASL merged with the Western Soccer League. After the 1990 season, the club absorbed the Washington Stars, and moved to play in Columbia, Maryland.
