I’m no sports maven but because I write about so many different sports, I often find myself engaged in conversations with people in which I casually mention some fact that they find unexpected. Recently, I surprised someone when I noted that some of Maryland’s best women’s lacrosse players, including probably the greatest of them all Jen Adams, have come to the Terrapins from Australia.
I mention this because about 10 days ago the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) announced its … Read More »
In conjunction with their support group, the Rebounders, the Maryland women’s basketball team chose a unique way to celebrate Father’s Day by holding the fifth edition of their unique fun(d)raiser – a mini-golf tournament at the Columbia Sports Park. The event took a one year hiatus when the NCAA changed its recruiting rules in 2014 as head coach Brenda Frese and … Read More »
Today I have the chance to write about one of my favorite sports to follow at Maryland – field hockey. For those of you who aren’t familiar with me, I’ll ask you to indulge me as I take a few paragraphs to explain.
Getting to know me
Four or so years ago, seeking some information about Maryland athletics I stumbled across a website called Testudo Times. I read some of the comments and it seemed like a vibrant community so, … Read More »
I can’t believe Virginia is advancing to the College World Series against Vandy. That’s right–the sane Cavalier team that was trailing UMD twice and came back to win.
Manny Machado will most likely not be on the AL All STAR game roster. He has been incredile..

On a recent broadcast of Terp Talk, host Bruce Posner talked about his excitement over the upcoming season for Maryland men’s basketball. Understandably so. The men’s team is loaded with talent and potential and has been installed by some wise guys in Las Vegas as the early favorite to capture the NCAA title.
On the first of December, Maryland will travel to take on North Carolina in the B1G-ACC Challenge. Exactly one week later, the Terps will travel to Madison … Read More »
Those of you who listened to the June 10th edition of Terp Talk might have heard Bruce Posner and I briefly talk about the success of Maryland’s move to the Big Ten and the benefits the athletic department has seen in as the first year of this new relationship draws to a close. I have a story on that in the works that should run next week and that I think many of you will find interesting.
For now, I’d … Read More »
Sasho Cirovski, the head coach of the University of Maryland men’s soccer team approaches scheduling with a philosophic belief that he breeds programmatic success by challenging his team early in the season and the 2015 schedule looks to be no exception. By the end of Maryland’s 17 game regular season, the Terps will have faced 10 teams that played in the 2015 NCAA Tournament including the top three seeds.
Because of this aggressive scheduling, slow starts aren’t extraordinary for Cirovski … Read More »
Last week I looked at some of the rules changes the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP) made for men’s basketball. This week I’ll review some of the changes for the upcoming women’s basketball season one of which is considerably more dramatic than any of the changes in the men’s game. The big change is one that has long been rumored. Beginning this season, the NCAA women’s game will shift to four 10-minute quarters – a move that impacts not … Read More »
Former Maryland guard Lexie Brown is transferring to Duke.
The Blue Devils on Monday announced the addition of Brown to the roster. She will sit out the upcoming season and will have two years of eligibility remaining beginning in 2016-17.
The daughter of former NBA star Dee Brown said last month that she was leaving the Terrapins because she wanted to play closer to her home in Georgia.
Brown averaged 13.3 points per game last season and was picked to … Read More »
If Megan Douty played for a collegiate women’s lacrosse program other than Maryland, she would likely be that program’s brightest star. But Douty plays for a team with an even brighter star, the two time Tewaaraton Award winner, Taylor Cummings. For the second consecutive season the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) named Douty and Cummings as the national Defender and Midfielder of the Year respectively. I’ll start with Douty just because.

Here’s a list of the … Read More »
