📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Terps Head West. It’s conference season! Maryland football is in East Lansing, Mich. this weekend to take on Michigan State, here’s everything you need to get ready for kickoff:

🗣 PRESS CONFERENCE: Mike Locksley — Michigan State Week

🔼 Look Good, Play Good. They 3D scan helmets. They scrub out stubborn stains. They custom fit cleats. They break in game balls.

Basically, Senior Director of Football Equipment Operations Drew Hampton and his staff do it all.

The Big Ten schedule is highlighted by home contests with NCAA Tournament participants Iowa, Ohio State, Indiana, Purdue and Illinois.

🔼 Scoreless Contest. Liz Beardsley was the star once again for Maryland women’s soccer on Thursday night, as her late-game save kept the Terps’ match against Purdue knotted at 0-0, which held as the final score.

Maryland had 17 shots in the match — 11 from Ava Morales and Peyton Bernard — but none found the back of the net.

The Terps are back at it in College Park on Sunday against Ohio State.

The Boilermakers (6-3) are at the XFINITY Center Pavilion this evening for a matchup with the Terps (10-2), before the Wolverines (2-7) come to town on Sunday.

🔼 Another Chance. Maryland men’s soccer has another opportunity to pick up its first Big Ten win of the season this Sunday when it travels to Wisconsin.

The Badgers are above .500 at 3-2-3 on the season, with draws against Indiana and Northwestern so far in conference play.
