📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Terrific Terp. Maryland shortstop Matt Shaw is the ultimate gamer.

🔼 The Wait Is Over. The sitting around and twiddling of thumbs can stop - the Dirty Terps are finally back on the field again today in their first game of the NCAA Winston-Salem Regional!

Two-seed Maryland takes on three-seed Northeastern today at 1:00pm ET on ESPN+. The Huskies come into the matchup at 44-14, losing in the CAA championship game but earning an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament on the backs of wins like the one they picked up against Maryland back on May 9.

Matchup to watch: Northeastern’s pitching staff versus Maryland’s bats. The Huskies carry the second-lowest team ERA in the country into the contest (3.57), while the Terps bring in the third-highest team slugging percentage (.562).

🔼 PLL Pro Terps. As the Premier Lacrosse League season gets underway, no college program in the country has more alums playing than Maryland, with 25 former Terps suiting up.
