No. 7 Maryland field hockey had a frustrating first half. The Terps had 13 shots, 11 penalty corners and even two disallowed goals, but they remained scoreless against the upset-minded Towson Tigers. Missy Meharg's crew returned to the locker room searching for answers.
"We just had some lack of focus in the first two quarters," Meharg said. "We freed them up, gave them some really disciplined shapes and demanded that the players be in those ***** es so that we gave ourselves more ***** e to get from the front third into the circle."
Fortunately for the Terps, they did just that. A four-goal third quarter – including a hat trick from sophomore Jordyn Hollamon – was all the home team needed to spark its fifth straight win to open up the season, a 6-0 destruction of Towson.
"Jordyn is so versatile," Meharg said. "She understands all the shapes. She's so thorough because she can play anywhere in the front seven."
The Terps used a funky play to catch fire after halftime. Just two minutes into the third period, Hollamon received a long pass on the left wing and slipped the ball towards the center of the shooting circle for Maddie Vasilios. The ball never reached Vasilios, but it did find the back of the net, clanking off the heel of Towson's Else Wismans to open the scoring.

While Maryland's offense was easily its busiest unit during the Terps' 62-0 opening week win over Hampton, it's Maryland's defense that has numbers getting those around football talking.
According to Pro Football Focus, Maryland's defense received the sixth-highest grade of all Division I teams over the weekend as it held Hampton to just 85 total yards.
The Terps' defensive line was individually the eighth-highest graded unit in the country.
From the defensive line, redshirt sophomore edge rusher DD Holmes stood out on the tape, recording his first two sacks for Maryland. Those sacks came despite him playing just nine snaps on the night — with the big impact in little time earning Holmes the fourth-greatest individual defender grade for PFF of the week.
Setting aside the manner in which it happened, a physical win against Hampton likely didn't alter any predictions on Maryland's win total for the season. Now, the Terps are five wins away from hitting .500 for the season — which 64% of Testudo Times voters predicted would happen in our most recent SBNation Reacts poll.

The battle between No. 13 Maryland field hockey and No. 6 Duke was everything fans could've asked for, as the former ACC foes went toe-to-toe on a neutral site for 70 minutes and into a shootout.
Thanks to a late goal from freshman Ella Beach and three consecutive shootout saves from goalkeeper Alyssa Klebasko, the Terps stunned the Blue Devils, 3-2, to move to 4-0 on the season.
Duke had the first major chance just three minutes into the match, as Shae Wozniak received a centering pass just on the doorsteps of the goal. The attempt was denied by Klebasko, who dropped into a split and made a kick save with her left blocker.
Once again, penalty corners were a major theme throughout the game. Maryland had a pair of them right off the bat, but Duke set the tone by blocking a pair of hits from Feliz Kuhne.
On the other side, Duke earned a pair of penalty corners two minutes later and broke through on the second attempt. While the Blue Devils botched the initial insert, they quickly recovered and sent another centering pass towards the middle where Ashley Stockdale tipped the ball past Klebasko to put the Blue Devils ahead.

Fresh off of opening-night losses, Maryland women's volleyball and Arkansas stepped onto Vanderbilt's Memorial gym looking for a quick turnaround on the second day of the SEC/Big Ten Challenge. In a relentless, back-and-forth battle, the Terps prevailed with a 3-1 win.
Both teams treated Wednesday's match as a fresh opportunity to prove themselves. From the opening serve, it was a neck-and-neck battle. That momentum shaped not just the first set but the entirety of the match.
Neither team could create any separation early in what turned into a back-and-forth battle. In the opening set, the Razorbacks edged out Maryland, 26-24, capitalizing on a late set point after trading blows through the extra points.
While Maryland took an early five-point lead in the set, Arkansas clawed back behind a pair of kills from opposite hitter Romani Thurman. That sequence was part of the Razorbacks' four-point run, which allowed them to take a one-point lead, 23-22.
But it was Layla Smith's solo block and an error from Sydney Bryant that allowed Arkansas to pull away and win the first set.

A major part of No. 4 Maryland men's soccer's regular season success last season was their ability to win with a variety of play styles against stout opponents. The Terps went 5-0 against ranked opponents in 2025 and looked to replicate that success Saturday night against No. 9 High Point.
After a grueling 80 minutes, Rodrigo Neri became the hero for Terps, scoring his first goal of the season and the eventual game winner as the Terps outlasted the Panthers for a 1-0 victory.
"It was a well-played and hard fought game," said head coach Sasho Cirovski. "It was a game where you needed a special play to win it."
Franklin Affanyi cleared the ball deep into the Panthers half of the field where Neri was able to track down the ball and gain control with a chest touch. Neri then slid to his left past two defenders and found the bottom right corner of the net past the Panthers' Josh Caron. The freshman had been an offensive spark all game for the Terps, totaling six of the Terps' 18 shots.
"This is the best home crowd someone could ask for," said Neri. "Those last moments that are very hard… you hear them and you just want to push even harder."

The last time Maryland men's soccer stepped foot on Ludwig Field was to take on the Washington Huskies in the quarterfinals of the College Cup. The Terps left in disbelief after suffering a shocking 3-1 defeat on their home turf that abruptly ended their season.
Maryland men's soccer looked to flush the bad taste out of their mouth in their home opener against the New Haven Chargers Monday, and it did so in a wild 3-2 victory.
Following a steady 45 minutes of play from the Chargers, the Terps found themselves down one after a turbulent first half. In the second half, both teams came out firing on all cylinders by scoring a combined four goals in the span of six minutes.
Henry Bernstein scored the Terps' first goal in the 51st minute off a wild deflection that bounced off the Chargers' Felipe Lemos and into the net, tying the game at one. Less than two minutes later, Dominic Ayella scored his first goal for Maryland off a perfect cross from Dennis Kalanzi.
The freshman duo gave the Terps their first lead of the game, but it was short-lived, as the Chargers drew a corner and scored in the 56th minute. Lorenzo Garbarino soared into the box and placed a well located header on a spinning ball that found the back of the net.

Following a strong 2025 season fueled by a veteran and versatile roster, Maryland men's soccer entered the 2026 season with questions surrounding which of its 14 newcomers would step up.
That question was answered emphatically by freshman Said El Eyssami, who found nylon twice in the Terps' 2-1 opening victory against the Pittsburgh Panthers Thursday night.
"He's a special talent," head coach Sasho Cirovski said. "He's got a nose for the goal."
The first goal came in the 11th minute when El Eyssami received a feed from Henry Bernstein that led him into open **** e at the top of the box. The Panama native delivered a precise shot with his left foot into the bottom right corner of the net, past the outstretched hand of Pitt goalie Jack Moxom.
Bernstein and El Eyssami connected once more just after halftime. A midfield run from Bernstein ended with another perfect pass to set up El Eyssami one-on-one with the keeper. The freshman accelerated past his defender and placed his shot off the inside of the right post, which careened left and in to extend the Terps' lead to two.

With just 20 days remaining until Maryland football kicks off a pivotal 2026 season against Hampton, Testudo Times is taking an in-depth look at the situations in every position group for the Terps. Keep a lookout for more position previews that'll come out every other day; for now, it's time to talk about perhaps the least debatable starting spot on the roster.
While Maryland football's starting quarterback decision wasn't made until hours before the 2025 season opener, there is no debate this season.
After a standout freshman campaign, Malik Washington announced his plans to remain with the Terps during the offseason. His return was part of Maryland's 71% returning production — the second-highest mark nationally.
However, a wave of quarterbacks departed the program: Justyn Martin transferred to Ohio State, Khristian Martin left for Fresno State and Roman Jensen committed to Shippensburg. Even Jackson Hamilton, son of offensive ******* istant Pep Hamilton, is currently listed as a wide receiver after redshirting last year as a quarterback recruit.
Michael Locksley addressed the position group with three transfers and a three-star commit, but questions remain about the team's depth.

The Washington Commanders continue to churn the bottom of the roster. Over the weekend, the Commanders worked out several players and ended up signing three offensive linemen for depth. Another move Washington made over the weekend was moving fifth-year defensive tackle DJ Davidson to the reserve/retired list.
Davidson faced long odds of making Washington's 53-man roster, but it wasn't out of the question. So, the Commanders brought in several players on Monday for tryouts. There were eight players in total, and apparently Washington has made a move, signing veteran defensive tackle Byron Cowart, according to Commanders insider Ben Standig.
Cowart is a familiar name to locals, as he finished his collegiate career at the University of Maryland. A native of Seffner, Florida, Cowart was the No. 1 overall high school player in the country in the 2015 recruiting class, committing to Auburn, where he played for three seasons.
After his one year with the Terps, Cowart entered the 2019 NFL Draft, where he was a fifth-round pick of the New England Patriots. Cowart spent three seasons with the Patriots and was waived ahead of the 2022 season. He was claimed by the Indianapolis Colts, where he spent that season. In 2023, Cowart signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, but was released shortly thereafter. He quickly signed with the Houston Texans, but was again released during final cuts.
In Sept. 2023, Cowart signed with the Miami Dolphins practice squad, where he remained for that season. He signed with the Chicago Bears in 2024, where he spent that season. In 2025, Cowart was with the New York Jets, but was placed on injured reserve and later released.

After a long, long offseason, Maryland football is set to start its 2026 season on September 5.
For many fans, the beginning of each new season brings renewed hope and promise (and maybe some slightly more complex feelings for yours truly, who will be spending his 21st birthday evening in the booth as the Terps play Hampton).
With one month remaining before the opening kick, the Terps hosted a media day in SECU Stadium's Tyser Tower, beginning to pull the curtains back on the work they have done in an aim to not finish 4-8 for a third straight season.
Here are some takeaways from the Terps' media day. The full video is available to watch here.
The first topic head coach Mike Locksley chose to address in his opening statement was the team's attitude with respect to the upcoming season: work over words.

Over the weekend, the United States named its 20-person roster for the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup, and two former Terps will be playing for Team USA — with one special distinction.
Leah Crouse, who played her graduate year with Maryland in 2022, is one of the athletes named. Now plying her club trade with Tokyo Hockey, the 26-year-old Crouse has earned 72 caps for the women’s national team and will be counted on at the highest level.
Emma DeBerdine was named one of two captains for the team at this World Cup. The five-year Terp, who had to take a break year from school in order to play on the team that went to the 2024 Paris Olympics, has earned 69 caps for the national team and will earn more this summer.
The tournament will take place from Aug. 15-30 in Belgium and Netherlands. A full schedule can be found here, with results updated as time goes on.
The Players Era Tournament has taken pity on Maryland men’s basketball — its first game, against Tennessee, will tip at 3:00 p.m. EST (12:00 p.m. local time).

A pair of Maryland baseball’s brightest stars got their flowers Sunday, as Lance Williams and Brayden Martin were both selected on the second day of the 2026 MLB Draft.
Williams was the first Terp off the board — he was selected in the eighth round as the 247th pick by the Chicago Cubs, the same organization where former Maryland standout Matt Shaw is rostered. Williams posted solid numbers in his lone College Park season after transferring from East Carolina following his freshman campaign, striking out 69 batters in 57 innings pitched. While his 6.16 ERA may be cause for concern, the pitcher only allowed three earned runs in his last seven appearances.
Martin, on the other hand, was selected in the 11th round with the 342nd pick by the Toronto Blue Jays. He made a name for himself by mastering the art of walking, recording a program-high 145 walks in his three years at Maryland. He also performed at an elite level with the bat, averaging .314 and logging a .455 on-base percentage during his collegiate career.
The duo’s solid production failed to save the terps from what was otherwise a disappointing season. Maryland finished 15th in the Big Ten with a 9-21 conference record. This offseason remains one of immense importance for head coach Matt Swope as he looks to guide the Terps up the conference leaderboard.
Maryland football offensive lineman Amory Hills earned the eighth-highest PFF pass-blocking grade among all qualified Division 1 linemen.

Maryland made the first move in Jayden Agberodiola‘s recruitment, and in the end, it made the biggest one.
The 6-foot-3, 340-pound defensive lineman from Rockvale (Tenn.) picked up his first offer on Jan. 26, and it was from Maryland. Less that five months later, after an official visit to College Park, Agberodiola has committed to Mike Locksley and the Terps.
The three-star chose Maryland over Arkansas, Boston College and USF, giving the Terps another massive addition in the trenches.
“They just recruited me very consistently and hard, especially once they realized how much potential I had and how I fit in their defensive scheme,” Agberodiola told Rivals.

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy three-star safety Chuck Roberts has flipped his commitment from North Carolina to Maryland, according to Rivals’ Pete Nakos.
Pledged to the Tar Heels since Dec. 29, the 6-foot, 180-pounder now has his sights set on College Park in a big flip for head coach Mike Locksley and the Terrapins.
Roberts is the No. 580 overall prospect and No. 52 safety in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 49 recruit in California.

After locking in with UNC at the end of last year, Roberts’ recruitment ramped up and he landed myriad new offers. Maryland, however, had been in the mix since October. The Terps have kept their foot on the gas pursuing a flip and Roberts has obliged while on his official visit this weekend.
