Good morning! How long do you think the conversation lasted in the room when it came time to name the Terp of the Week this week?
"Let's see, let's start with Courtney Wyche... three shutouts, five hits allowed... do we need to continue?"

📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Terp Train Rolling. Bring on William & Mary & anyone else who wants a piece of the Terps.
Maryland baseball is coming off a weekend series win over No. 22 Iowa, a three-game matchup in which the Dirty Terps scored 25 runs.
Heading into tonight's matchup against William & Mary, Maryland has won 13 of its last 16 games and sits at 17-10 overall.
William & Mary comes into the midweek matchup at 18-11 and riding a five-game win streak. That streak includes a midweek win over No. 15 Campbell and a weekend sweep of St. John's.
🔼 Simpkins Is Captain American. Maryland basketball alum Duane Simpkins was named the new head coach at American University this weekend.
Serving as an assistant and associate head coach at George Mason since 2013, Simpkins gets his first head coaching role at American, playing in the Patriot League.
Simpkins was a McDonald's All American in high school before starring for the Terps on the hardwood from 1992-1996. In 119 games for Maryland, Simpkins averaged 9.4 points and 4.1 assists per game.

Maryland's All-Access show gives fans a look inside the dugout at the Dirty Terp All-Americans, including interviews with them, their teammates, and coaches.
🤔 TERPS TRIVIA
50 and thriving. Maryland women's lacrosse celebrated the 50th season of the program during Sunday's win over Michigan.
During that time, the program has experienced more success than any other program. We'll let you take a stab at multiple trivia questions today - how many national titles has the program won? How many conference championships? How about Final Fours?

🐢 ONE BIG THING
Maryland softball didn't allow a single run over the weekend against Michigan State. Not one. In three games. Against a Big Ten opponent. That's just incredible.
Courtney Wyche and Trinity Schlotterbeck not only combined for a trio of shutouts, they only allowed six hits total over the three games.
Take a look back at photos from the historic weekend.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER
Answer: 15, 31, 28!
If those numbers seem crazy, that's because they are. Maryland has won 15 national championships in 50 years (that's 30%), 31 conference titles, and has reached 28 Final Fours (that's over half).
Have a great Tuesday, everyone.
