After winning the first two games against a quality Cal State Fullerton squad on their bye week from conference play, Maryland baseball’s bats went silent as the Terps dropped three straight. They lost 1-0 in the Fullerton series finale and inexplicably struggled through two midweek losses in a home and home series to VCU falling 2-1 in 10 innings in Richmond Tuesday and 3-1 in College Park Wednesday.
The Terps got back on track by sweeping … Read More »
The 106th renewal of The Rivalry – Maryland versus Johns Hopkins in men’s lacrosse took place in a steady rain at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium in front of 9.343 loud and enthusiastic fans. Maryland fans left disappointed as Johns Hopkins survived an early Maryland blitz coming from three goals down to win 15-12.
Charlie Raffa saw the field for the first time in three games for Maryland and, on the opening faceoff looked as though he hadn’t missed … 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 »

On most Tuesday mornings during the college lacrosse season, Maryland head coach John Tillman holds a teleconference with members of the media. As he prepares his squad for what is annually the biggest week on the Maryland lacrosse calendar – “Hopkins Week” – he generously spent nearly half an hour answering the usual (and unusual) questions.
Traditionally, Tillman begins with a look back at the previous week. This week, in his review of Maryland’s thrilling come … Read More »
Hopkins Week has arrived. For all the talk sometimes lavished on other games throughout the year, Hopkins Week is, without question, the most intense week of the Maryland men’s lacrosse season. And the contest, simply known as “The Rivalry”, has a new wrinkle and more import than it has ever had.
For the first time in history of the game, Maryland and Johns Hopkins will meet as conference foes. And a conference title is on the line. By virtue of … Read More »
The Big Ten is full of traditional rivalries and, accordingly, has a slew of rivalry trophies. From the Little Brown Jug that goes to the winner of the Michigan – Minnesota football game to the Old Oaken Bucket that the winner of Purdue – Indiana football claims, rivalry trophies are very much a part of B1G tradition.
Tuesday afternoon, Maryland … 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 »
