📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Home Sweet Home. The fourth-seeded Maryland women’s lacrosse team is back at home this week when they host Gators of Florida on Thursday afternoon in College Park.

Kori Edmondson and Eloise Clevenger has led the Terps offensive attack in the first two NCAA wins, as the duo have combined for 14 goals and 3 assists, with Edmondson notching a hat trick in both contests.

Thursday’s quarterfinal showdown is a rematch from an OT thriller earlier this season when Florida came away with a 13-12 victory on Feb. 24th in College Park.

🔼 Three’s Company. The NCAA Quarters are still a few days away, but the Terps’ men’s lacrosse squad is already bringing home some more hardware.

Over the past week, three Terps received All-American accolades.

Ajax Zappitello was named a First Team All-American by both USA Lacrosse Magazine and Inside Lacrosse. He was the lone unanimous All-American per Inside Lacrosse.

Luke Wierman was named an Honorable Mention All-American by both publications while Eric Spanos earned Honorable Mention All-American honors from USA Lacrosse Magazine. 

🔼 Crunch Time. There’s nothing like this time of year.

Playoff baseball takes things to the next level and the Maryland baseball boys are fighting for their respective spot in the upcoming Big 10 Tournament.

With the final week of the conference season on deck, the Terps find themselves locked in a battle of five teams fighting for the final two spots in the conference postseason.

Maryland, who has won eight of their past 10 games, welcomes Penn State to College Park for a three-game set beginning Thursday. The Nittany Lions are one of the other five teams fighting for a spot in the Big 10 Tournament.

🔼 What Its All About. Sure, we love all the wins, championships and thrilling performances, but this picture, that’s what it’s really all about.

By this time next week, this group of incredible student-athletes will walk across the stage and earn their diploma.

Great job Terps!
