The weekend began with 5 ACC teams and ended with just 2, the final victim being FSU in a typical horrendous basketball game Big East Style vs Cincinnati. Let’s give Mick Cronin, coach of the Bearcats, his due as I find it incredible that he has guided this team to the sweet 16. Remember the Brawl between Cinci and crosstown rival Xavier. unbelievably both teams have made the Sweet 16. 

After watching the Tar Heels today, I was almost convinced … Read More »

Maryland starting pitcher Brett Harman struck out eight in eight scoreless innings, K.J. Hockaday went 2-for-2 with the games only run and the Terps beat No. 4 North Carolina 1-0 Sunday afternoon.

Maryland (14-6, 1-5 ACC) recorded its sixth shutout of the season – it’s most since 1972, when it also had six – and improved to 5-3 against ranked teams.

Harman led the way, matching his season high with eight strikeouts, scattering seven hits and stranding seven Tar Heels. The senior, … Read More »

The No. 5 Maryland women’s lacrosse team put together a stellar second-half rally to down No. 14 Boston College 16-10 Saturday at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex.

Karri Ellen Johnson led all Maryland (7-2, 2-1 ACC) scorers with four goals. Junior Katie Schwarzmann and freshman Kelly McPartland each picked up a hat trick as the attack tallied more than 15 goals for the second straight game. After winning only one draw in the first half, the … Read More »

Some quick thoughts:

I was waiting for Brenda’s press conference at Comcast when I glanced at Terps Mobile to se how the Lacrosse teams were doing. It was about 1:10. I looked and saw 4-0 Terps over Nova. What? I missed one quarter and it was never a game.

Owen Blye erupted for 4 goals and 2 assists. Niko stopped shot after shot-12 saves in all. But the play of the day went to long pole Jesse Bernhardt. After getting … Read More »

ACC POY Alyssa Thomas was just too strong for Navy to deal with as the Terps coasted to a 59-44 victory that was not as close as the final score indicated. Thomas finished with 17 points after a slow start in the first hald. Laurin Mincy finished with 14.

Maryland enjoyed a 46-33 rebound edge although Navy got inside for a few buckets in the 2nd half.

Next up in the round of 32 game for the Terps is … Read More »

There was a serious lid on the Terps basket in the first half. Repeatedly Maryland missed inside shots that were probably a sign of pressing. Height and talent prevailed as Senior Kim Rodgers fired in 2 threes to turn the tide. In the 2nd half I look for the Terps to settle down and pull away. Navy seems content to fire up the 3s as they are unable to penetrate the interior defense of Hawkins, Thomas and Kizer.
