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 neutralized in 8-inning, 10-0 defeat to Rutgers
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.

Maryland men’s lacrosse 2026 season recap
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 […]

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.

Maryland men’s lacrosse fails to reach NCAA tournament for first time since 2002
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 blows ninth-inning lead to Michigan in 8-7 defeat
Maryland baseball hadn’t led against Michigan in the entire weekend series following an extra-inning walk off loss and a run-rule defeat.

Pitching woes persist as Maryland baseball bows to Michigan, 17-5, in 7 innings
Maryland baseball fans were treated to a storyline that felt eerily familiar in the second game of the Terps’ weekend series against Michigan.
