After its worst season since 2008 — it finished with an 8-22 record and just one win during conference play — Maryland volleyball has its sights set on a bounce-back 2026 campaign. The Terps’ path to do so got slightly clearer on Monday, as the Big Ten announced their conference schedule ahead of the season. […]
In an offseason of recruiting scores, Buzz Williams and Maryland men’s basketball suffered its first major rimout as five-star center Obinna Ekezie Jr. committed to Louisville Sunday.

It seemed inevitable that Maryland men’s lacrosse would make the NCAA Tournament after being selected as the top-ranked preseason team — no program ranked No. 1 heading into the season had missed the field over the last decade.

Maryland baseball hadn’t led against Michigan in the entire weekend series following an extra-inning walk off loss and a run-rule defeat. In one fell swoop, second baseman David Mendez changed that, crushing a two-run blast clear over the right-field fence to give the Terps their first lead all weekend. But after managing to hold onto […]
Maryland baseball fans were treated to a storyline that felt eerily familiar in the second game of the Terps’ weekend series against Michigan. Only six days before, Michigan State paced Maryland in a nine-run inning. That forced the Terps into a run-rule loss in only seven innings. Against the Wolverines, the Terps allowed a similar […]

No. 3-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse has crafted a comeback effort in each of its losses this season. It’s fallen short every time. In Thursday’s Big Ten Tournament semifinal clash against No. 2-seed Penn State, the Terps scored on consecutive possessions midway through the fourth quarter. Maryland’s three-goal fourth-quarter deficit was suddenly trimmed to one. But […]
It was always going to be an uphill battle for No. 10 Maryland men’s lacrosse to earn an NCAA Tournament bid following the program’s worst start since 1993. A three-game losing streak during nonconference play left the Terps practically playing with their backs against the wall for the remainder of the regular season. While it […]
The WNBA preseason has just begun, but former Maryland women’s basketball great Alyssa Thomas already looks to be in pure midseason form.

John Tillman was quick to address the areas he wanted cleaned up after No. 3-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse’s game against No. 6-seed Rutgers on Saturday. While they held on for a 13-10 victory in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal, the Terps nearly blew a five-goal lead after allowing Rutgers to net five fourth-quarter goals. Maryland […]

Over the weekend, Maryland baseball lost its sixth Big Ten weekend series against Michigan State.

After watching fellow Terp Octavian Smith Jr. sign with his hometown team, former Maryland wide receiver Jalil Farooq will do the same — Farooq will look to join Smith in Charm City after reportedly signing with the Baltimore Ravens on an undrafted free agent contract.

After a difficult stretch of the season for Maryland softball that eliminated it from Big Ten tournament contention early, the Terps found a way to turn the corner right before the end.

Maryland baseball’s first two pitchers of the day came and went after only two-thirds of an inning each, allowing a combined nine hits and 11 runs by the bottom of the second. Ryan Bailey became the Terps’ second bullpen call of the day. Bailey didn’t aid in the hit-fest though, as Michigan State’s Adam Broski […]
Despite playing sloppily for the majority of the contest, No. 2-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse found its way into overtime of the Big Ten championship. But with less than a second left in the period, defensively-minded midfielder Annabel Child rounded a pick and sent a long-range sidearm snipe into the back of the net to dash […]
Among a balanced wide receiver room, Shaleak Knotts was Maryland football’s breakout star in 2025. While Knotts wasn’t selected in the NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings signed the Terps’ top weapon just minutes after the conclusion of the three-day event. Knotts hauled in 161 receiving yards as a junior, but the departure of several key […]

Set offense has been hard to come by for No. 3-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse this season.

The Terps went from outhitting the Spartans 17-12 in Game 1 to being outhit 12-9 in Game 2. Maryland’s loss was fueled by errors and strikeouts as it fell to Michigan State, 12-4, to cut […]
Maryland football saw just one player selected in the 2026 NFL Draft — its fewest in a draft since 2021. Safety Jalen Huskey was the sole Terp taken off the board — he was selected with the final pick of the third round by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Six of seven players that participated in the […]
In lieu of Maryland football’s conventional spring scrimmage, head coach Mike Locksley opted to run practice drills at the team’s annual Spring Showcase.
