🔼 Last At-Bat. Maryland softball fell at No. 25 Virginia on Tuesday, 4-3.

Keeping Eric In The Game

UM lacrosse midfielder Eric Kolar was working out pre-season when his knee suddenly felt loose and started to swell up. The team’s athletic trainer sent Eric to Dr. Jonathan Packer and the experts at the University of Maryland Medical System for a consult.

After trying many non-surgical therapies without relief, Dr. Packer and Eric decided that surgery was the best option. But with only six weeks until the season opener, would Eric be ready in time? Find out.

As the Official Medical Team of the Terps, elite athletes trust the expert care we provide - and so can you! Whether you’re competing at the highest level or getting back to what you love, we’re here to help you recover like a champion.

🔼 Hygiene Accessibility. In collaboration with the Gossett Fellows program, a dedicated group of student-athletes took a proactive approach to community engagement, demonstrating the profound impact of collective action. 

The group — Tasha Brozowski (gymnastics), Ethan Gough (football), Emmi Simon (track & field), and Katie Altieri (track & field) — focused their efforts on addressing hygiene accessibility for young students within their local community.
