🔼 Terps On TV. Maryland men’s soccer will play national-televised matches on the Big Ten Network four times this fall, against Virginia (9/2), Indiana (9/20), Penn State (10/1) and UCLA (10/21)!

🔼 Signal Caller. Former Maryland quarterback Stan Gelbaugh’s father once uttered the phrase, “If you start, you don’t quit.”

It stuck with Gelbaugh when he first heard it as a teenager, held onto it during his time under center in College Park, and continued to use it into his NFL career.

🔼 Olympic Hooper. Ekene Ibekwe was electric to watch play for the Terps from 2003-07, finishing his Maryland career as one of only four players in program history to accrue 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 200 blocks.

He turned his collegiate career into a long run with the Nigerian National Team, with whom he appeared in the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games.

The second annual Maryland Women’s Soccer Cornhole Tournament and Fundraiser is scheduled for Aug. 25 at 1:30 p.m. ahead of the Terps’ home match against James Madison!
