While midseason transfers have become less common in wrestling, Maryland went out and got Carter Young from Oklahoma State. The 149-pounder has thrived this season, placing fourth at the Big Ten championships. Here's my story on his journey to Maryland: dbknews.com/2026/03/11/car…

From @EdwardLeeSun: Maryland PR said Sunday that John Tillman would address the media Monday. Now today, Maryland PR says Tillman is not available and did not say if he'll speak tomorrow. Tillman also did not return a phone call or text from The Sun. baltimoresun.com/2026/05/04/mar…

@FindingNino11 They were regular season co-Big Ten champions

@FZessis35 I thought they was co Big10 champs??

Maryland men's lacrosse does not hear its name called on Selection Sunday. The Terps entered this season as the preseason's No. 1 team in the nation, but now miss the playoffs for the first time since 2002

Offensive woes hinder Maryland men’s lacrosse in 8-6 loss vs. Penn State ✍️: @FZessis35 insidetheblackandgold.net/post/offensive…

End Q4 Maryland men's lacrosse falls to Penn State for the second time this season. Clears and a scoreless second quarter hindered a strong performance from Maryland's defense. The Terps' NCAA tournament hopes now hang in the balance Maryland: 6 Penn State: 8

1:29 left in Q4 Andrew Beard's first goal of the game is a potential back breaker for the Terps. The midfielder spun away from an aggressive pursuit from Maryland's defense and buried a low shot past Brian Ruppel. Maryland: 6 Penn State: 8

2:40 left in Q4 Eric Spanos cuts Maryland's deficit down to one for the second time this quarter. A massive faceoff now looms for the Terps in order to get back in this game Maryland: 6 Penn State: 7

6:22 left in Q4 For the first time all game Maryland scores consecutive goals. The latest comes from Braden Erksa on a nifty short lob from Chris Lyons. Maryland: 5 Penn State: 6

8:38 left in Q4 Jack Schultz buries a crucial goal for Maryland midway through the fourth quarter. The Terps have been unable to string together consecutive goals and will need to do so to make a comeback. Maryland: 4 Penn State: 6

10:57 in Q4 Liam Matthews scores a rare man-up goal on Maryland. The Terps entered the game as the top man-down defense in the nation, but Matthews was left unmarked in front of the net. Maryland: 3 Penn State: 6

End Q3 Despite Maryland's offensive struggles, the Terps remain within striking distance. Maryland has really struggled against Penn State's 10-man ride and will need to be better on its clears to mount a comeback. Maryland: 3 Penn State: 5

5:36 left in Q3 Maryland scores its third consecutive goal on a cross-body shot from the right wing. The goal is Leo Johnson's second of the game, and it is an interesting trend to keep an eye on with just over 20 minutes left in the game Maryland: 3 Penn State: 5

10:43 left in Q3 The Nittany Lions have now scored on consecutive possessions for the second time this game. The latest goal comes from Hunter Aquino, who has tallied a goal in every quarter so far. Maryland: 2 Penn State: 5

12:28 left in Q3 Just over a minute after Maryland pulled within a goal, the defender Will Costin extends Penn State's lead back to two goals. Maryland: 2 Penn State: 4

13:35 left in Q3 Leo Johnson buries a goal after Maryland drew a two-player advantage to begin the third quarter. Johnson's goal snaps a 29:14 scoreless drought from Maryland. Maryland: 2 Penn State: 3

End Q2 Maryland's offense enters halftime after getting shutout for the third time in a quarter in its past five games. Its defense has been tenacious, knocking down passes and forcing 10 turnovers, but the Terps have not scored in 27:49 of game time Maryland: 1 Penn State: 3

8:57 left in Q2 A bad turnover by Maryland midfielder Thomas Gravino on a clear attempt leads directly to a goal by Hunter Aquino. The sophomore missed the first contest against the Terps due to injury, and now has two goals. Maryland: 1 Penn State: 3

End Q1 Maryland's defense is much improved from its last game against Penn State through the first 15 minutes. The Terps allow just two goals, and their man coverage has been significantly better. Maryland: 1 Penn State: 2

2:32 left in Q1 After failing to score on its first five possessions of the game, Penn State has now scored on consecutive possessions. This one comes from Hunter Aquino, who spun off his defender before burying a shot point-blank on Brian Ruppel Maryland: 1 Penn State: 1

4:54 left in Q1 Midfielder Michael Faraone evens the scoring on a one-touch shot from in front of the net. The goal is his 17th of the season. Maryland: 1 Penn State: 1
