Until Sunday, Maryland baseball first baseman Paul Jones II hadn’t hit a home run since April 28th. His blast that day was the only one the Terps logged during their 11-2 victory over Georgetown.

Having already succeeded in the regular season and achieved an NCAA tournament quarterfinal berth, head coach Cathy Reese has led Maryland women’s lacrosse to a position many teams would dream of reaching.

Alyssa Thomas has been a triple-double machine across her 41 games with the Phoenix Mercury. The former Maryland women’s basketball forward set a new single-season WNBA record with eight triple-doubles in 2025. While the Mercury suffered a 16-point loss on Sunday, Thomas was one rebound shy of her first triple-double of the season. She posted […]
Maryland football is set to host former VMI linebacker Stephen Dean on Monday and Tuesday, bringing in an intriguing, high-upside option in an area in need of depth.

After being sent home by Penn in the second round of last year’s NCAA tournament, No. 3-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse knew it needed to bring in a firestarter on offense.

Maryland baseball has long needed its starting pitching rotation to step up, and one of the key players it elevated in the hopes of getting that was pitcher Logan Hastings. That move has come with mixed results. Having allowed 15 runs over his previous three starts, Hastings needed a strong outing against Rutgers. For three […]
No. 3-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse returns to postseason play after a two-week hiatus from the field.

Offense has rarely been the leading problem during Maryland baseball’s shaky 2026 season. The Terps boast the second-most runs scored in the Big Ten and are tied for 20th nationally. But Friday’s game against Rutgers saw Maryland’s bats go silent. The Terps scored only three runs, including just one through the first six innings, leading […]
Despite two drastically different seasons, both Maryland lacrosse programs shared a positive spotlight Thursday, combining for eight total USA Lacrosse All-American nods.

The frustration in head coach John Tillman’s voice was palpable when he gave his closing remarks after Maryland men’s lacrosse’s Big Ten Tournament exit. “We just have to deal with the consequences because we didn’t do enough to determine our own fate,” Tillman said. For the first time under Tillman, the Terps’ nation-leading streak of […]

Three weeks ago, Maryland baseball defeated Towson, 15-7, aided by five Terps drawing walks in the bottom of the eighth with the bases loaded.

Maryland dominated Towson, 23-11, on Tuesday at Brooks […]
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.

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.
