📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Survive And Advance. No. 10 seed Maryland softball found itself tied at the end of seven innings against No. 7 seed Penn State in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament on Wednesday, but a Diamond Williams RBI single in the top of the ninth inning broke the tie, and the Terps went on to win 3-1.

Williams also homered to start the scoring in the fourth inning for Maryland, who advances to take on No. 2 seed Michigan today in the quarterfinals at 5:30 p.m. ET.

🔼 Comeback Complete. Maryland baseball found itself down 8-0 in the fifth inning Wednesday against USC Upstate, but the Cardiac Terps didn’t sweat it, and came all the way back to win 11-8 thanks in large part to a six-run seventh inning.

Eddie and Chris Hacopian, Brayden Martin and Devin Russell all had multi-hit games, while Chris Hacopian, Kevin Keister, Russell and Ben Nardi all drove in at least two runs.

🔼 Best In The B1G. Maryland softball was well-represented on the All-Big Ten lists that were announced on Wednesday!

Jaeda McFarland leads the group with a First-Team All-Big Ten selection, followed by Courtney Wyche, Mazie MacFarlane, Diamond Williams and Sydney Lewis on the Second-Team list.

🔼 Last Round. Maryland women’s golf wrapped up its season on Wednesday at the NCAA Bryan Regional, finishing ninth in the 12-team field.

Nicha Kanpai was the low Terp on the leaderboard, shooting 5-over for the tournament to finish in a tie for 24th individually, while Maria Vittoria Corbi, Virginia Bossi and Patricie Mackova all played their final rounds as Terps.

🔼 Home Grown. Maryland women’s lacrosse’s Hannah Leubecker will go down as one of the Terrapin greats, but her journey started from humble beginnings.

🔼 European Vacation. Maryland women’s hoops is headed to Europe this summer for an 11-day tour of Croatia!
