🔼 Good Eye! Maryland baseball’s offense exploded on Tuesday against Towson, drawing a season-high 22 walks and hitting two grand slams in a 23-11 road win over the Tigers!

Bud Coombs and Ryan Costello each hit grand slams for the Terps. For Costello, it was his team-leading 15th home run of the season and his fourth grand slam, and his seven RBI were the most by a Terp this season.

🔼 Tumbling Into Town! Maryland gymnastics has announced the signing of Georgia transfer Nicole King!

King has recorded career highs of 9.875 on vault and 9.900 on floor. In the classroom, she earned WCGA Scholastic All-America honors in 2024 and 2025 and was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll from 2022 through 2026. Nicole spent all four years of her collegiate career at the University of Georgia.
