My take—Now that’s a feather in the cap for this program
On A.J. Hendy: Safety
“A.J. has done well. That’s something that you would expect out of a guy that’s a fifth year player. He’s playing well right now. He’s playing with confidence. He’s doing all the things that we want him to do back there. He’s communicating well which is important for a safety. Now it’s his opportunity to step up and shine in that … Read More »
Sometime during Indiana’s five run third inning the headline “Hoosiers Take Terps to Church” began bubbling into my consciousness. Given the 11:00 am Sunday start, Annie Savoy’s opening monologue from Bull Durham and the currency of the Hosier song “Take Me to Church” it seemed appropriate. Maryland pitchers issued 11 walks and the hitters made an average Indiana pitching staff look strong for the second consecutive game as the Hoosiers completed a series sweep handing the Terps a sound 6-2 … Read More »
Johns Hopkins played a near flawless game and squashed Ohio State 13-6 to win the Big Ten Championship and an automatic bid to the NCAAs.
Miquel Gonzalez was brilliant tonight going 7 2/3 innings of shutout ball as the O’s won 4-0. Sunday the O’s will play it’s last home game of the year in Tampa.
American Pharoah, the 5-2 favorite won the Kentucky Derby for trainer Bob Baffert. Is this a triple crown horse? I doubt it.

Some days being a sports fan kinda sucks.
Here’s a list of teams I root for who played games Friday: Maryland softball, Maryland women’s lacrosse, Maryland baseball, the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals.
Here’s a list of the teams on that list that won:
Add the loss by the Maryland men’s lacrosse team Thursday night and the 24 hour period, well, as Maryland students are so fond of shouting, sucks.
If you’re inclined to extensive self-flagellation, you can read … Read More »
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.
LIZ TWILLEY – 6’2″ Outside hitter
Ask any coach heading any program at a state’s flagship university about the … Read More »
Less than two weeks after their overtime loss to Maryland in the Showdown in the Shoe, the Ohio State Buckeyes came to College Park to face the Terrapins in a Big Ten semifinal contest. The Terps didn’t play their best game for the first three quarters and had missed two critical opportunities but still managed to hold on to a slim 5-4 lead. The fourth quarter belonged entirely to Ohio State and the Buckeyes pulled away for a 9-6 win.

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 »
Food for thought: Before Saturday night’s loss to Johns Hopkins, the last time the Maryland men’s lacrosse team lost a game was February 14th to Yale in a game played in New Haven. In that contest, the teams were tied at six all entering the fourth quarter and the Elis outscored the Terps 4-0 to grab a 10-6 win. Saturday night, Maryland led 10-9 entering the fourth quarter before the Blue Jays outscored the Terps by four (6-2) to triumph … 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 »
