Game #8 Maryland looks for their North Stars

The Maryland Terrapins pulled off their best comeback win in years. Can they take that win as some momentum against Minnesota today? Maryland is at 4-3 and in need of another win today on the road.

With Billy Edwards Jr. at QB1 for the Terps, he had to gain a lot of confidence after leading his team to victory after trailing by 14 points in the 4th quarter last week. Tai Felton has taken on double teams for much of the season, and that has allowed receivers like Octavian Smith Jr. and Kaden Prather to get some one-on-one coverage and make some big plays.

Game #7 Homecoming with USC in College Park, MD

The Maryland Terrapins have fallen into their worst stretch in years, and find themselves at 3-3 in the middle of their season. This is a must win game for Maryland in their annual Homecoming game at SECU Stadium in College Park. This will be Maryland’s 102nd Homecoming game. The Terps have an all-time record of 61-36-4 in homecoming games (60.3 winning percentage). In town as their opponent is one of the newest Big-10 teams from the west coast in the USC Trojans. USC will be the 32nd different opponent Maryland will welcome on homecoming.

The Terps have won three of their past four and six of their last eight homecoming games, with wins against Purdue (2016), Indiana (2017 & 2021), Rutgers (2018), Minnesota (2020), and Northwestern (2022) in that span.

USC travels its furthest distance this season, and traveled across the country to just outside of our nation’s capital to play Maryland for the first time ever in the history of these programs. USC also enters this game with a 3-3 record.

With Billy Edwards Jr. at QB1 for the Terps, he must figure out a way to lead his team to victory. Tai Felton was the star in the Terps three wins, and he must turn big plays to keep drives moving and convert them into touchdowns. That all makes sense, but clearly the team is made up of dozens of other players who must step up.

Game #2 A Big-10 matchup

For the Maryland Terrapins, it was new beginnings for this football season after QB Taulia Tagovailoa used up his eligibility, and the Terps chose Billy Edwards Jr. as their QB1 for the 2024 season. They did a great job of keeping their QB1 choice as a secret until the first offensive play last week when Edwards stepped into the huddle that led to the Terps destroying Connecticut at SECU Stadium in College Park, Maryland by a final score of 50-7. Now, the Terps have their first Big-10 matchup with a home game with Michigan State.

Maryland baseball completes 12th comeback win, 13-12 agasint UMBC

The cardiac Terps completed their 12th comeback win of the season, walking it off against mid-week rival UMBC on Wednesday night.

With the 13-12 win, Maryland moved to 20-9 while UMBC fell t0 11-14.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Iowa Transfer Sam Hojnar swung on a 2-0 count and squeezed a single to left field allowing two runners to score.

Ryan Van Buren started the game for UMBC, only going two innings and giving up five hits, four earned runs, and two walks.

It was a rollercoaster game for the Terps on both sides of the ball. The team led 7-0 after two innings, with the offense scoring seven runs via extra-base hits. However, after the third inning, the Retrievers retired the next ten Maryland hitters, and they took advantage offensively. They tied the game 8-8 going into the seventh when center fielder Justin Taylor launched a grand slam.

Although Maryland cut the deficit to two runs in the eighth from singles by Chris Hacopian and eventually Sam Hojnar, the Terps moved to 8-1 in one-run games and completed their 15th straight win against UMBC. All-time they are 41-13-1 against UMBC.

“I think it’s a culture thing, to be honest,” head coach Matt Swope told the media after the game. “If anybody has been following us for three or four years, no lead is safe. Everybody has contributed over these years. That’s what we preach about as an offense: handing it off.”

Maryland used six pitchers during the game. Eventually, Alex Walsh earned his first win of the season. He recorded zero runs and zero hits over 2.2 innings.

“You got to be ready to seize the opportunity when you get your chance,” Swope said when asked about the bullpen’s performance.

Maryland will host Indiana for a three-game series at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium starting Friday, April 5. The first pitch is at 6 p.m.
