No. 3-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse can’t mount comeback, loses 8-6 to No. 2-seed Penn State in Big Ten semifinals
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.

Maryland’s three-goal fourth-quarter deficit was suddenly trimmed to one. But […]
No. 10 Maryland men’s lacrosse’s postseason chances hang in the balance
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.

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.

Maryland football alum Shaleak Knotts signed by Minnesota Vikings

Knotts hauled in 161 receiving yards as a junior, but the departure of several key […]

Takeaways from Maryland football’s 2026 Spring Showcase
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.

Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals preview: No. 3-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse vs. No. 6-seed Rutgers
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 […]
