MM 6.3: Maryland men’s soccer announces 2026 schedule
Despite reaching the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals for the first time since 2018, Maryland men’s soccer’s 2025 campaign ended on a disappointing note.

Cohesion drove Maryland women’s lacrosse in 2026, but glaring inconsistencies killed its title hopes
Despite posting the only spotless record in the nation 13 games into the 2026 season, Maryland women’s lacrosse looked anything but perfect.

NCAA Tournament semifinal preview: No. 3-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse vs. No. 2-seed North Carolina

Maryland baseball’s full-team effort nullifies Penn State, 12-2, in 7-inning beatdown
For weeks, Maryland baseball head coach Matt Swope chalked up messy conference losses to struggles on the pitching staff. “I think the pitching injuries alone cost us at least five wins,” he said after the Terps used seven pitchers against Georgetown Tuesday. However, it was starting pitcher Cristofer Cespedes who turned the tide in Maryland’s […]
MM 5.15: Maryland football adds transfer running back Terrez Worthy
Maryland football’s backfield was the conference’s worst in 2025 — ranking last with 1,252 rushing yards and only 305 rush attempts.
