๐Ÿ”ผ Elite Eight. No. 2 seed Maryland menโ€™s lacrosse plays its 42nd NCAA Quarterfinal matchup in program history this weekend, traveling to Annapolis to play Georgetown this Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

The Hoyas are 12-4 this season after upsetting No. 7 seed Duke, 16-12, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Durham, N.C., on May 10. The Hoyas earned an automatic bid by winning the Big East Tournament and have won their last five games by an average margin of victory of 8.8 goals. Georgetown is 2-0 in neutral site games in 2025.

๐Ÿ”ผ Game Two Today. Maryland baseball fell in the first game of its three-game series with Rutgers on Thursday, 6-4.

The Terps scored first with an RBI single by Eddie Hacopian in the bottom of the first, but Rutgers responded with a four-run top of the second. Maryland cut the deficit to 4-3 in the fifth with a solo home run by Chris Hacopian and an RBI single by Jacob Orr. However, the Scarlet Knights got the runs back in the sixth and seventh innings. A final run driven in on a solo homer by Aden Hill wasn't enough.

๐Ÿ”ผ B1G Race Day. The postseason has arrived for Maryland track and field, which is in Eugene, Ore., this weekend for the Big Ten Championships at historic Hayward Field.

๐Ÿ”ผ And The Award Goes To. The University of Maryland Athletics' Strategic Communications and Content Development unit has been honored with seven College Sports Communicators (CSC) Fred Stabley Sr. Writing Awards!
