🔼 Moving Forward Together. Maryland Athletics will have a prominent role in the recently announced public launch of Forward: The University of Maryland Campaign for the Fearless, which will accelerate the University of Maryland's momentum and impact. 

Maryland Athletics aims to raise at least $350M to impact each of its 20 varsity sport programs and provide championship resources needed to recruit, develop and graduate top student-athletes and consistently compete for conference and national championships.

🎓 IMPACT OF A SCHOLARSHIP

Christy Winters Scott will never forget the first time she tried out for her high school basketball team at South Lakes in Reston, Virginia. 

Her school fielded varsity and JV teams but not a freshman team. As a lengthy 6-foot-1, 130-pound freshman, she figured it would be unlikely for her to make the varsity team, so she made it a goal to make the JV roster. 

“As a freshman, I'm thinking I got to be on that JV team,” Winters Scott said. “I looked on the door in the girls’ locker room at South Lakes where they posted it. … I was heartbroken when I didn't see my name on the JV team.”

🔼 Game Won! No. 10 Maryland women’s basketball was dominant in its season opener on Monday, winning 80-26 against Loyola inside XFINITY Center.

Oluchi Okananwa (18 points) and Saylor Poffenbarger (11 points) scored in double figures, with 11 Terps registering points against the Greyhounds. The 26 points that Maryland allowed are the fewest under Brenda Frese and the program’s third-fewest allowed ever.

🔼 One Win In! Maryland men’s basketball was victorious in the first game of the Buzz Williams era on Monday night, beating Coppin State, 83-61, in Baltimore!

The Terps had five players in double figures — Pharrel Payne (21), Darius Adams (16), Elijah Saunders (14), Andre Mills (13) and David Coit (13).

Get your gold ready 👀 The Gold Rush is back Nov. 7!

🔼 Afternoon Champaign. Maryland football’s road game at Illinois on Saturday, Nov. 15 will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. and be televised on FS1!

🎓 IMPACT OF A SCHOLARSHIP

Sports was the way out for a young Jaime Flores. He loved playing anything with a ball and hoped it would get him out of the rough neighborhood that he and his immediate family, the first generation of his family to live in the continental United States after migrating from Puerto Rico, lived in.

“There were a lot of drugs in the neighborhood that was filled with young kids,” Flores said. “I had my own cousins doing drugs at a very young age, and I even experimented at that age too. I never liked how it felt because it affected how I performed in sports.”

Abbott and Big Ten will host 12 "We Give Blood" Weekly One-Up Challenges. These mini competitions will pit two Big Ten schools against each other to see which can show up to donate the most during the week. Everyone from the winning school who showed up to donate, at any time during the campaign, will have a chance to win select memorable experiences offered by the universities.

This week’s One-Up Challenge is Maryland vs Rutgers. The last day to donate is 11/7. Learn more here.
