The accolades keep piling up for No. 3 Maryland women’s lacrosse’s goalie JJ Suriano during her breakout junior campaign. After being selected to the All-Big Ten first team, Suriano further etched her name among the program’s legends. She was named to the All-Big Ten Tournament team on Sunday, and two days later, Suriano became the […]
Over the weekend, Maryland baseball lost its sixth Big Ten weekend series against Michigan State. After a Friday night victory, the Terps only recorded a combined total of 13 hits and five runs in the final two games. On Tuesday, the Terps notched that same number of hits and more than doubled the amount of […]
Maryland tennis’ historic season continued to blossom Monday as the Terps earned a spot in the NCAA tournament for the first time in 15 years. The news comes after the Terps punched their ticket to their first-ever Big Ten tournament semifinal by upsetting then-No. 2-seed USC 4-2 Friday. Despite falling in the semis to eventual […]
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. Farooq’s apparent signing marks the fifth graduating Terp to sign […]
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. Despite falling to the Spartans 4-3 in extra innings Friday, Maryland found its groove, winning 3-0 Saturday and sounding off with a 7-2 […]
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 […]
Maryland football has had another player find a home in the immediate aftermath of the draft. Offensive tackle Alan Herron has signed with the New Orleans Saints. The Westmoreland, Jamaica, native spent two seasons as a starter at Division II Shorter University before transferring to the Terps ahead of the 2024 season. He became the […]
With three former Terp wideouts declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft, wide receiver Octavian Smith Jr. was the first to sign a professional contract, agreeing to terms with the Baltimore Ravens Saturday night. After a season lining up with dual-threat Malik Washington, Smith will get the chance to catch passes from one of the game’s […]
Set offense has been hard to come by for No. 3-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse this season. The Terps have struggled to break down some of the nation’s elite defenses, leading to five single-digit scoring performances. While that trend continued in Saturday’s Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal clash against No. 6-seed Rutgers, Maryland found goals through other […]
After its first Friday night conference victory, Maryland baseball failed to secure the series win against Michigan State on Saturday. 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. The switch comes after programs across the country have shied away from the traditional spring game due to the inherent injury risk. Instead, the Terps opted to run 7-on-7 reps that featured […]
Maryland baseball drove in seven runs within the first two innings against Michigan State, fueled by three home runs. While the Spartans attempted to close the deficit throughout the game, the Terps came out on top, tying their single-game season record with five home runs. Maryland dominated Michigan State,18-10, in the first game of the […]
Maryland football has been one of the best programs at producing NFL draft picks in recent years, and the program has gotten off the board with the final selection of Day 2. The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted former Terp Jalen Huskey with the 100th pick, adding to a secondary that features star cornerback Travis Hunter and […]
Coming out of the half with a five-goal lead, No. 2-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse looked set to cruise to an easy win in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals. But after a disastrous second half, the Terps found themselves locked in a stalemate and headed into their first overtime period of the season. Then, freshman Lyla […]
A message from managing editor Matt Germack As I get ready to graduate next month, today is my final day at Testudo Times. That’s probably a good thing for Maryland athletics. I’ve been an editor here for two 4-8 football seasons and a 12-21 basketball season; the Crab Five exploded during my semester abroad in […]

While No. 3-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse’s defense was steady during conference play — it held four of five Big Ten foes to single-digit goals — its offense let it down on numerous occasions. Saturday was no different. The Terps limited No. 1-seed Johns Hopkins to just nine goals, including one third-quarter score. Maryland’s sturdy defensive […]
On Thursday, Maryland women’s basketball head coach Brenda Frese went out and landed a key prospect in the form of 6-foot-1 shooting guard Trinity Jones, who 247Sports’ composite rankings have as the seventh-best prospect in the class of 2026 — ahead of soon-to-be Terp Jordyn Jackson. Jones was initially committed to Clemson, but she was […]
Amid its turbulent season, No. 11 Maryland men’s lacrosse has had some standout performances from its graduating class. Those players were recognized on Wednesday, as six Terps received Big Ten honors. While Henry Dodge doesn’t play the flashiest position, Maryland’s leading faceoff specialist has been arguably the team’s most important piece. The Vermont transfer sits […]
Down in the final seconds of the game up one goal, No. 2-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse was in danger of fumbling a three-goal lead and sending the game to overtime. But as its defense collapsed and left No. 7-seed Ohio State’s Zoe Coleman wide open in front of the goal, JJ Suriano made the most […]
Brenda Frese’s second portal addition is a 6-foot guard with College Park ties. Maryland women’s basketball is adding sophomore Chloe Sotell to its 2026-27 roster, the program announced Tuesday. Sotell spent this past season at Missouri and two seasons ago at Pepperdine. If her last name sounds familiar to Terps’ basketball fans, that’s because her […]
Maryland baseball kicked off Tuesday’s midweek contest against Mount St. Mary’s with a seven-run first inning, ignited by the hands of Jordan Crosland. The redshirt sophomore launched the first pitch of the game 411 feet over the left center wall for a solo home run. Then, with two outs and bases loaded, freshman Bud Coombs […]
