📈 CELEBRATING NGWSD!

🔼 Happy NGWSD!National Girls & Women in Sports Day is an occasion to truly appreciate the women who make Maryland Athletics what it is every single day, not just through competition, but through leadership, investment, and a belief in what's possible.

Throughout my career in intercollegiate athletics, I've seen the direct impact of how opportunity, interest, and trust can truly change the game for women. When I was considering coming to Maryland, one thing was clear: this is a place where women are encouraged to grow as athletes, leaders, and professionals. That matters to me because it reflects values I care deeply about.”

🔼 Top 25 Tilt. No. 22 Maryland women’s basketball takes a trip away from College Park today, traveling to East Lansing, Mich., for a Top 25 matchup at No. 12 Michigan State!

The Spartans are 19-3 overall this season and 8-3 so far in Big Ten play.

🔼 Preseason Praise. Hype continues to roll in ahead of Maryland women’s lacrosse’s season opener this weekend!

On Tuesday, the trio of Kori Edmondson (First Team), Kayla Gilmore (Second Team) and Neve O’Ferrall (Third Team) were named Inside Lacrosse Preseason All-Americans!

What To Eat When You’re Sick

Did you know the right foods can actually help support your immune system, ease symptoms and speed recovery? Here’s what to eat (and what to avoid) when illness strikes at home.

Terps, it’s time to head south! Join fellow Maryland fans in Sarasota for an unforgettable day at Orioles Spring Training, starting with a University of Maryland Alumni Association crab feast tailgate on Feb. 28 before the Orioles take on the Atlanta Braves at Ed Smith Stadium.

🐢 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Happy NGWSD! From student-athletes to coaches and administrators, these voices reflect a shared belief that sports are more than competition; they showcase confidence, leadership, and lifelong growth. Together, their stories show how Maryland women are breaking barriers, creating opportunity, and building a culture where belonging, resilience, and representation matter. At its heart, this collective spirit is about paying forward the power of sport, inspiring the next generation to dream bigger, lead boldly, and know they belong.
