Following an 18-6 victory over Colgate in the Maryland men's lacrosse team's regular season finale on Saturday, senior Jesse Bernhardt, a starting longstick midfielder, walked off the Byrd Stadium field wearing the construction hard hat that symbolizes the player in the Terrapins ' program who has the most energy and works the hardest. Based on Maryland's energy and purpose against the Raiders, it could have used about a dozen more hard hats. The 16-team NCAA tournament field will be announced...

When Kristi Toliver made her WNBA debut earlier this month, she saw a familiar sight in the crowd at Target Center in Minneapolis: Young kids dressed in Maryland T-shirts and No. 20 jerseys shouted her name and waved at her, even though she now wears No. 7 for the Chicago Sky. A similar scene greeted Marissa Coleman, Toliver's former teammate on the Terrapins, during an autograph session at an Italian restaurant in Rockville in late May. As Coleman...

Alyssa Thomas pulled up on the right wing, paused momentarily to lock in on her target and released a jumper that dropped through the rim for her first basket during fourth-seeded Maryland 's second-round game in the NCAA women's basketball tournament . Soon after the junior forward made a layup, sank another jumper and stole the ball to create another easy basket in front of an appreciative crowd of 3,416 Monday night at Comcast Center....

In each of the past seven games heading into last night's NCAA tournament matchup with local rival George Mason, the second-seeded Maryland men's soccer team had gutted out one-goal victories en route to an ACC tournament title and a national-best 11-game winning streak. But in last night's second-round game at Ludwig Field, there was nary a heart-stopping moment for the Terrapins, who dominated play and turned two Patriots mistakes into first-half goals for a 2-0 victory, extending their winning streak and ending George Mason's own eight-game run. ...

It took one 93-second stretch on Sunday afternoon for the Maryland men's basketball team to settle a two-sided matter that had been brewing in College Park for the previous few snow-drenched days: Could North Carolina be that bad? Could the Terrapins be that good? Maryland's 92-71 win suggested that the answer to both was a resounding yes. The Terrapins spent most of their day at Comcast Center dispatching the threats North Carolina periodically posed to their lead and eventually pulled away for a definitive victory.

GREENSBORO, N.C., March 7 -- Maryland Coach Brenda Frese was back striding the sideline Friday night at the ACC tournament, and Crystal Langhorne and Laura Harper couldn't have been happier. No Maryland players feed off Frese's passion more than Langhorne and Harper. They are bolder and more confident when Frese is coaching the team rather than sitting in her chair observing, as she did through most of her pregnancy. Fueled by their coach's return, Langhorne and Harper tore apart Boston College.

LAHAINA, HAWAII -- Chaminade point guard Steven Bennett ran as fast as he could with the ball in his hands Monday in the opening round of the Maui Invitational. He treated each and every possession as a timed obstacle course run, jetting left and right to avoid Maryland defenders before ending up at the basket. Bennett's plan -- his team's plan, really -- was born out of necessity. He stood just 5 feet 6, and his teammates, though taller, paled in comparison to the Terrapins in terms of size and stature.

The fourth-seeded Maryland women's basketball team began NCAA tournament play on Saturday with a 72-52 victory over No. 13 seed Quinnipiac, using the strength of a decisive run bridging the halves and another all-American-caliber performance from Alyssa Thomas. The junior forward scored a game-high 29 points and added 13 rebounds and five assists to lead an overpowering front court for the Terrapins, who for the first time this season had four players reach double-figure rebounds.

Twenty-four years ago, before many of his Maryland men's basketball players were even born, an energetic recent graduate named Mark Turgeon began coaching the University of Kansas junior varsity team. The Jayhawks were small. So small, in fact, that their power forward stood 6 feet 2. Sometimes he played center. That was the last time Turgeon ever inserted a five-guard lineup before Thursday night against Denver in the National Invitation Tournament second round. Backed in to a corner by the...

Their admittedly slim hopes for an NCAA tournament at-large berth definitely dashed, the Maryland Terrapins took 24 hours to digest their relegation to the National Invitation Tournament. Then they went back to work. Motivation shouldn't be a problem for Maryland, which hosts Niagara (19-13) at Comcast Center in Tuesday's first round. A deep run would serve as a springboard into the offseason. Reaching the semifinals at Madison Square Garden would provide a proper sendoff for senior James Padgett...

When Virginia had finished orchestrating its biggest comeback since 2006 in a dramatic 61-58 overtime victory over Maryland on Sunday night, 11,794 nervous fans at John Paul Jones Arena, collectively exhaled. Senior point guard Jontel Evans shed tears of joy on the court and in the locker room. Cavaliers Coach Tony Bennett, never one to savor a victory, even cracked jokes during his postgame news conference. Inside a small auditorium in front of reporters, freshman center Mike...

CHARLOTTESVILLE — Had any player or coach on Maryland or Virginia wandered down to the opposing bench at John Paul Jones Arena on Sunday night, he would have been met with a mirror image. All season, these two teams have followed encouraging wins with disappointing losses, and shown signs of progress only to respond with confounding lapses. Neither has found a reliable point guard and each owned a spot firmly on the NCAA tournament bubble entering the final ACC...

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The second-seeded Maryland women's basket team had its bid to repeat as ACC tournament champions end with a 72-65 loss to North Carolina in Saturday's semifinals despite nearly a second straight triple-double from junior foward Alyssa Thomas, who got little help during the Terrapins' second-half collapse in front of 8,754 at Greensboro Coliseum. Thomas finished with 26 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists less than 24 hours after recording the first...

Maryland's departure from the ACC could lead to Coach Mark Turgeon reconnecting with North Carolina Coach Roy Williams. Or at least Turgeon should feel comfortable calling his mentor regularly again. Turgeon cooled it on seeking advice from Williams, whom he served under long ago at Kansas, once they became competitors in the same conference. "And with having to play each other two and three times a year," Turgeon said, "I really didn't want him knowing about all my problems.

The ninth-ranked Maryland women's basketball team had begun to pull away in its regular season finale Sunday afternoon when the Terrapins backslid briefly, surrendering consecutive three-pointers near the end of the first half that allowed Wake Forest a glimmer of hope. Then in the closing seconds before intermission, senior forward Tianna Hawkins collected a pass from Alyssa Thomas on a fast break, pulled up behind the three-point line and swished a jumper at the buzzer to send...
