Earlier this week, Maryland head volleyball coach Steve Aird officially introduced his incoming four player class for 2015. With every recruit best suited to playing a different position on the court, each player has an opportunity to compete for early playing time and make a positive contribution for Maryland in the Terrapins’ second Big Ten season. Let’s meet the newest Terps.

In 2014, Maryland’s baseball season likely plunged to the vertex of the parabolic arc of its season in a late April series when the Terps dropped three straight to Boston College in Chestnut Hill followed by a 6-2 loss at home to James Madison. Those losses left the Terrapins in danger of posting a third consecutive thirty win season for the first time in program history but still being on the outside looking in at the … Read More »

Maryland players occupy eight of the 20 spots available on the Big Ten Women’s All-Conference Team. Nine players were unanimous selections and five of those come from the roster of the undefeated conference champs.
Taylor Cummings
No surprises here. Cummings has done nothing as a junior to take any sheen off her National Player of the Year sophomore season. If anything, she has shown a more well-rounded game in 2015. Cummings is second on the team … Read More »

In the wake of Maryland’s disappointing and, to some, upsetting men’s lacrosse loss to Johns Hopkins Saturday night, I thought it the appropriate time to take a big picture look at some great things that are happening in and around Maryland’s athletic department.
A MINI RANT
Let me start with a few words about the lacrosse game. This loss was disappointing but not a tragedy. To the inevitable John Tillman critics who will doubtless emerge from the hidey holes where … Read More »

It was Maryland against Penn State for all the B1G women’s lacrosse marbles at the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex in College Park Thursday night.
The opening eight minutes belonged entirely to Maryland and, as always, it started in the draw circle with Taylor Cummings. The junior from McDonogh controlled the opening draw took the ball down the left side and gave Maryland a 1-0 lead just 10 seconds into the game.
Thirty-six seconds later, after … Read More »

By my rough count, the Big Ten has handed out 84 weekly player of the week or co-player of the week awards – 46 men’s and 38 women’s – in its inaugural lacrosse season. Because of their respective start dates, Maryland wasn’t eligible for four of the men’s awards and six for the women. This week, two Terrapin women and one man won conference player of the week plaudits bringing the men’s total to 12 and … Read More »
What does it take to turn a team around? In 2014, the Maryland softball team finished 11-35. The 11 wins were the fewest in the 20 year history of the program. With rumor and controversy swirling around the coaching staff, Maryland released Larua Watten from her contract and in late summer hired Courtney Scott-Deifel as the program’s third head coach.
Scott-Deifel came with a solid pedigree. As a player at the University of California Berkeley, she was an All-American catcher … Read More »

For most of you, Maryland athletics is close to exclusively about two sports – football and men’s basketball. Periodically, other Terrapins teams may appear as proverbial blips on your radar: women’s basketball as they roll to a Big Ten title or reach a Final Four, Sasho Cirovski’s soccer squad as they make their generally annual run deep into the postseason, perhaps the same goes for Missy Meharg and her field hockey team or either of Maryland’s … Read More »
