🔼 Round 119. The 119th meeting between Maryland and Johns Hopkins men’s lacrosse is the first of its kind - the oldest of rivals will meet in the Big Ten Tournament at Homewood Field for the first time this afternoon.

The winner of today’s semifinal matchup will take on the winner of the No. 1 Penn State - No. 4 Michigan matchup.

One goal separated the Terps and Blue Jays on April 22 in College Park, Johns Hopkins coming away with a 12-11 win in that one. That game was tied at every score all the way to 10-10, with not much separating the two teams.

🔼 Knight Time. An upset from Rutgers over Johns Hopkins has two-seed Maryland women’s lacrosse playing the six-seed Scarlet Knights in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals this evening.

The Terps are coming off a 11-7 win over seven-seed Ohio State in the quarterfinals, buoyed by a 19-3 effort in the draw from Shaylan Ahearn.

Maryland doubled up Rutgers in its matchup earlier this season, beating the Scarlet Knights in Piscataway 16-8.

It was a historical night for the Terps, the seventh straight game in which they have won and scored more than 10 runs - the longest such streak in school history.

Nick Lorusso also helped make history for Maryland, hitting the club’s 100th home run of the season. On top of that, Ian Petrutz and Jacob Orr drove in four runs, and Luke Shliger and Elijah Lambros each drove in three.

🔼 Staff Signings. The Maryland volleyball staff just got a boost - head coach Adam Hughes has announced the addition of Ryan Ammerman as an assistant coach.

Ammerman is a former member of the United States Men’s National Team from 2010-15, and has played professionally in Spain, Sweden, Slovenia, Italy, Belgium and Croatia.

🐢 ONE BIG THING

Since hitting the scene for Maryland baseball in the spring of 2022, Nick Lorusso has established himself as one of the country’s most consistent and clutch hitters on an offense that has been one of the most fearsome in the NCAA.
