The Official Daily Newsletter For Maryland Athletics
Good morning! The final women's college basketball AP poll was released, and Maryland finished in the top-10 with a spot in No. 6.
In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue. These are all things we can count on.
What all can you find in today's Brew?

๐ STOCK UP
๐ผ Battling The Blue Jays. In the midst of a seven-game win streak, Maryland women's lacrosse welcomes Johns Hopkins to College Park tonight at 5:00pm ET for a midweek matchup.
The Terps' win streak has consisted of three ranked foes, a number that would bump to four if they win tonight - Johns Hopkins, although 5-6 overall, is ranked #20 with wins over Big Ten opponents Ohio State and Rutgers.
Want to catch the action in person? Tickets start at just $5.
๐ผ Double Feature. Maryland softball, coming off its historic weekend sweep of Michigan State, travels to Rutgers today for a doubleheader against the Scarlet Knights.
The Terps have won four straight and look to continue the best start in school history in Piscataway.
Rutgers sits at 27-12 overall and 4-2 in the Big Ten. The Scarlet Knights are hitting .309 as a team, and are led by Kyleigh Sand, who is hitting .411.
๐ผ Looking Forward. Maryland baseball had a three-game home winning streak snapped on Tuesday night with a 13-3 loss to William & Mary.
The Terps scored first in this one, but couldn't grab any offensive momentum after the first inning. Matt Shaw, who has had a great start to his season, had three hits on the night. It was his 10th multi-hit game of the season.
๐ผ Shaw-esome. Maryland shortstop Matt Shaw was a force to be reckoned with last week, with a .533 average across four games with eight hits, two of which were home runs, and 16 RBI.
For his work, Shaw was named both Big Ten Player of the Week and Perfect Game National Player of the Week.
Perfect Game also named Shaw a Second-Team Midseason All-American on Tuesday.

๐ข ONE BIG THING
In the first episode of Terpsville, all is not right. It seems there is a football helmet missing from Jones-Hill House.
Who could be responsible?

๐ TRIVIA ANSWER
Answer: 2019-20!
If you're thinking, "That's not very long ago?" youโd be right. The Terps have made a habit of ending the year ranked in the top-10 under Brenda Freseโฆ theyโve done it 12 times.
Have a great Wednesday, everyone.
