Traveling across the country in a small van

Three things to know – 1. Uncharacteristic mistakes. A win is a win — especially at this point of the year — but Saturday was by no means Maryland’s cleanest game. The Terps had 14 unforced turnovers and took three penalties for a total of 180 seconds. They also missed some potential goal-scoring opportunities and struggled to pick up ground balls.

• Winning a national championship requires pinpoint precision, and Maryland will need to play with more discipline in order to be victorious on Memorial Day.2.
• Will Maryland be at full strength on Monday? After missing the Terps’ quarterfinal game against Virginia, sophomore midfielder Jack Koras was able to start Saturday’s game against Princeton but left the field during the game, favoring his hamstring.

Additionally, graduate short-stick defensive midfielder Roman Puglise had to exit the game with an apparent arm injury and senior defenseman Brett Makar took a big hit. Puglise and Makar are All-Americans and are incredibly important to Maryland’s defense, plus Koras is a key piece in the midfield.

With hot temperatures expected on Monday, depth will be vital.3. Logan McNaney showed out. Junior goalie Logan McNaney had arguably the best performance of his career on Saturday, making a career-high 19 saves against a talented Princeton team. He was, of course, aided by Maryland’s plethora of talented defenseman that clogged up passing lanes and blocked shots all game long.

A similar effort will be necessary to beat a dangerous Cornell attack. Show full articles without “Continue Reading” button for hours. : No.1-seed Maryland men’s lacrosse advances to national championship game with 13-8 win over No.5-seed Princeton

Did Maryland beat Princeton lacrosse today?

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Saturday’s wait was worth it for the Maryland men’s lacrosse team. The top-seeded Terrapins started their NCAA tournament semifinal at Rentschler Field four hours late after weather snarled the day’s schedule, then finished off Princeton, 13-8, to move within a victory of an undefeated season.

1. Logan Wisnauskas scored four goals to become Maryland’s career leading scorer, Keegan Khan had three goals and two assists, and Logan McNaney made a career-high 19 saves for Maryland, which has won 34 of its past 35 games — the lone loss coming against Virginia in last year’s national title game,
2. Maryland (17-0) will meet seventh-seeded Cornell (14-4), a 17-10 winner over sixth-seeded Rutgers earlier Saturday, in Monday’s title game.

The Terps will play in their seventh championship game in 12 seasons under Coach John Tillman while aiming to become the first undefeated national champion since Virginia in 2006. The Terps also became the first team to reach back-to-back title games with an undefeated record since 1981-82 North Carolina, which won the championship each season.

• It wasn’t as overwhelming of a performance as Maryland has become accustomed to.
• The Terps crushed Vermont and Virginia to reach the semifinals for the ninth time since 2011 but needed a more workmanlike effort to dispatch Princeton for the second time this season.
• It’s a semifinal game, so you expect it to be tough,” Tillman said.

“We won the game by five goals, and we didn’t even feel like we played great. Sometimes we have to catch ourselves and be like, ‘That’s a good team we just beat.’ ” Erik Peters made 13 saves and Alexander Vardaro scored twice for the fifth-seeded Tigers (11-5), who were making their first semifinal appearance since 2004.

That lengthy absence was extended when thunderstorms in the area sent the Cornell-Rutgers game into a 3-hour, 38-minute delay just after halftime began. Instead of starting around 2:30 p.m., Maryland and Princeton didn’t get underway until 6:28 before an announced crowd of 21,668 — the smallest for a semifinal without pandemic restrictions since 2001.

When the game finally started, Maryland pounced on the Tigers, building a 5-1 lead by the end of the first quarter after defensive midfielder Bubba Fairman deposited a transition opportunity. Far more concerning than any other on-field development was the departure of short stick defensive midfielder Roman Puglise with a shoulder injury.

Tillman said he did not know whether Puglise would be able to play Monday. “He could break his leg and want to play,” Tillman said. “I love him to death, and I love his passion. We’re going to have to protect him from himself — maybe steal his helmet or something.” The Terps stretched their lead to 7-2 before Princeton caught its biggest break of the game.

Maryland long pole John Geppert was flagged for a three-minute nonreleaseable penalty for an illegal body check to the head of Princeton’s Beau Pederson. The Tigers got within 7-4 by halftime but missed their other three shots on the man-up. When they got their first even-strength possession of the third quarter, the Terps quickly got a goal back when Jonathan Donville found Wisnauskas in the crease.

“We overcommunicated, and that was kind of what we were trying to do,” McNaney said. “Out there it was a little loud, but props to our defensive guys. I don’t think they got a shot on goal in that three-minute period, I think that was very big for us in terms of momentum. Our offense and defense kind of fed on that.” Maryland then ripped off three goals in a 61-second span — the last two by Owen Murphy in a seven-second stretch — to go up 11-4.

“Those were critical,” Tillman said. Wisnauskas passed Jared Bernhardt with his 203rd goal with 1:32 remaining. Entering his final game Monday, Wisnauskas ranks fifth in NCAA history in goals. Saturday also demonstrated McNaney’s fondness for NCAA semifinals.

The junior’s career high for saves had been 17 against Duke, which came in last year’s semis on the same field. Now, Maryland faces the challenge of finishing the job for the first time since 2017 — and cementing its place among the best teams in recent history. Only three teams have completed a perfect season as champions in the past 30 years: 1997 Princeton, 2005 Johns Hopkins and 2006 Virginia.

On Memorial Day, the Terps will have a chance to join that group.

• Vivian Stringer as the women’s basketball coach at Rutgers.
• That’s an impossible task.
• Stringer, a Hall of Famer, won more than 1,000 games in 50 years and went to the Final Four four times with three different teams — Cheyney State, Iowa and Rutgers.
• The 51-year-old Washington admitted as much Tuesday after being introduced as the Scarlet Knights’ third full-time women’s head coach in nearly 40 years.

A three-time Big Ten Conference coach of the year during a 12-year stint at Penn State, Washington said Stringer inspired her on and off the court. Washington’s goal is to build off the retired 74-year-old’s accomplishments and get Rutgers back to the NCAA Tournament as soon as possible.

• What’s going to be consistent is that determination to be excellent, the determination to give to your players and the importance of building those relationships,” Washington told a small crowd at Jersey Mike’s Arena.
• Washington faces a major challenge next season after getting the job late, roughly three weeks after Stringer retired.

She takes over a team that went 11-20 overall and 3-14 in the Big Ten under Tim Eatman this past season. He ran the team last season after Stringer decided not to coach because of concerns over COVID-19. For now, the Rutgers roster is uncertain because of the transfer portal.

There are three players returning, two incoming freshmen, four others in the portal, and a transfer who has not finalized her commitment. Athletic director Pat Hobbs said he understands the problem and promised to be patient. He also said Washington, who was the associate head coach at Nortre Dame for the past two seasons, aced the virtual interview.

She was the only candidate brought on campus for a second interview. Hobbs had kept track of prospective coaches during the season, but the search never started until Stringer announced her retirement. A former WNBA player and champion, Washington got a six-year contract that guarantees total compensation of $4.625 million with additional performance incentives.

The news conference was not only attended by some Rutgers women’s fans. Three Notre Dame players, who live locally, were also there: Dara Mabry, Natalijia Marshall and Olivia Miles. “She’s so much more than a coach,” Mabry said. “She’s a lawyer. She’s really, really smart, very knowledgeable. A role model, especially for me.

I know she’s going to be a role model to these girls. They’re really, really lucky to have her.” Mabry said Washington even surprised Irish players at times on the court while working with them. “Every now and then in practice, she would go fast and we would be like, ‘Whoa,'” Mabry said.

1. We weren’t expecting her to, like, still be able to move like that.” Washington is returning to the head coaching ranks for the first time since 2018-19, her final season at Penn State.
2. The stint produced three Big Ten titles and three coach of the year honors.
3. It also ended with only one winning season in the past five.

It was something she attributed partially to outside issues, recruiting problems following the conviction of former Nittany Lions’ assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky in 2012 for sexual abuse. After spending a year as associate head coach under Sherri Coale at Oklahoma, Washington returned to her alma mater and worked two seasons at Notre Dame under Niele Ivey.

I’ve been able to learn and grow a lot,” said Washington, who also served as president of the WNBA Players Association before getting back into coaching. “I wasn’t in a rush to be a head coach again, and it had to be the right opportunity. And this was that, this was that right opportunity.” Still, replacing Stringer promises to be a challenge.

“I just want to be somebody that she will look and I say: ‘You know, you did a good job.’ ” Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust. Please consider supporting us with a subscription. Ryan Novozinsky may be reached at [email protected],

6:56 pm, May 30, 2022 The 2022 Maryland Terrapins have solidified themselves as one of the best men’s lacrosse teams in collegiate history. They are the first undefeated DI men’s lacrosse champion since Virginia in 2006. The Terps’ 9-7 win over Cornell puts them in elite company as only 13 teams in DI history have finished the season undefeated as the national champions.

Maryland dominated for three periods, outscoring the Big Red 9-3 and stifling Cornell on the defensive end thanks to 13 saves from goalie Logan McNaney in the first three periods. — Maryland Lacrosse (@TerpsMLax) May 30, 2022 Cornell had other plans in the final frame, though. The Ivy League program outscored the Terrapins 4-0 in the fourth to cut the lead to 9-7 thanks to goals from Michael Long, Hugh Kelleher, Spencer Wirtheim and CJ Kirst.

Kirst led the Big Red with two goals. But it wasn’t enough for the Big Red to get over the hump, as a fatigued Maryland team was ran out the clock and sealed the championship. Maryland was led by Anthony DeMaio, who had four goals on Monday afternoon, bu the real star of the show was goalie Logan McNaney who recorded 17 saves — 13 of which came in the first three periods. Early in the third period, Maryland kept the scoring party going, as Logan Wisnauskas and Jonathan Donville both scored in the first four minutes of the half — two goals in the span of 42 seconds. The Terps are also clicking on the defensive side of the ball, holding Cornell to just one goal in the period scored by Aiden Blake — his first goal since March 26. After the first half of play, Maryland has extended its lead to five, now leading 7-2. The Terps were bolstered by a goal from Owen Prybylski at the 13:00 mark, Anthony DeMaio at the 4:54 mark and Logan Wisnauskas at the 1:12 mark. After Maryland’s first goal of the second period, Cornell responded as CJ Kirst scored his second goal of the game with under 11:50 to play in the half. Maryland leads Cornell, 4-1, after one quarter in the national championship. Cornell opened the game with the most pressure, keeping the play in Maryland’s end. That finally resulted in CJ Kirst opening the scoring when he fired one through the legs of Maryland goalie Logan McNaney to make it 1-0 Big Red.

The Terrapins fired back though, getting a goal from Eric Malever to tie the game, 1-1. With 3:21 to play in the first, Maryland took its first lead of the game when Anthony DeMaio put one over the top of Cornell netminder Chayse Ierlan to make it 2-1.

Why did Mark Turgeon quit Maryland?

None of the players on the Maryland men’s basketball team have known Mark Turgeon for as long as Eric Ayala, The guard from Wilmington, Delaware, is the only senior and player from his recruiting class still on the team, and his return this season helped Maryland receive a No.21 preseason ranking in the AP Top 25 poll.

Ayala knew the pressure of winning at Maryland weighed on Turgeon, but he did not think that Dec.3 would be Turgeon’s last day with the program after more than 10 seasons as its head coach. The school announced that day that Turgeon would step down “in a mutual decision.” “It was definitely tough. Nobody really expected it,” Ayala told reporters Sunday after the team fell to Northwestern, 67-61, for its third straight loss.

“A lot of us wouldn’t be here without Coach Turg. It’s still kinda unreal to describe it. Emotions, I felt, was kind of like when we heard that we weren’t going to be able to play in the NCAA Tournament due to COVID, It kind of had that feel to it, that shock.

And still trying to get through it, and we got to keep fighting, keep trying to win games.” Turgeon leaves Maryland with a 226-116 record, one NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen appearance, and five trips to the NCAA Tournament, but the Maryland fan base never fully embraced him after several disappointing postseason performances.

Perhaps the most promising season in 2019-20, in which Maryland won a share of the Big Ten regular season title, was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Turgeon signed a three-year contract extension in April and the deal stipulated that if the school fired Turgeon before May 1, 2022, he would be owed $5 million.

1. Even though the athletics department has described the move as a “mutual decision,” a team spokesperson tells City Paper that Maryland will honor the terms of Turgeon’s contract, including paying him the $5 million.
2. The Terps currently sit at 5-4 after starting the season with four straight wins.
3. The team has lost to George Mason, Louisville, Virginia Tech—Turgeon’s final game—and Northwestern, and has yet to find an offensive identity.

Maryland shot 17 of 59 from the field against Northwestern, and fans began leaving Xfinity Center in droves with under a minute to go in Danny Manning ‘s debut as interim head coach. “I feel like tenure could be summarized as slightly underwhelming,” season ticket holder Ryan Earle tells City Paper,

“It always kind of left you wanting more.” Earle, 34, graduated from Maryland in 2009 and has been a season ticket holder since 2013, the year before the university moved from the Atlantic Coast Conference to the Big Ten Conference. The Baltimore resident bought single game tickets before then and went to almost every game as a student.

He calls Turgeon a “very good coach,” but believes the “Turgeon era had run its course.” Enthusiasm among the fan base, Earle says, is at the lowest level he can remember. “There’s a lot of apathy amongst the fan base, and I think there’s just not a clear path to ever truly contending with,” Earle says.

• That’s kind of how everyone felt.
• So I think that’s why a lot of the fan base was celebrating the fact that we decided to move on.” The Turgeonites announcing their rebrand at the Dec.5 Maryland game Credit: Kelyn Soong That’s not to say Turgeon didn’t have supporters.
• In his post-game press conference on Sunday, Northwestern head coach Chris Collins praised Turgeon.

“I hope Coach Turgeon is being celebrated for what he did here,” Collins said. “For 10 years, I’ve competed against that guy and I can tell you trying to prepare to play against his teams, the kind of players he had here, the winning, the way he did it, the kind of person he is, he’s a good basketball coach, and a good man.

So I hope that everybody around here will celebrate him for his standard as you guys move forward.” Manning, who was teammates with Turgeon during their college days at University of Kansas, considers Turgeon a friend, coaching peer, and mentor. He told reporters Sunday he reacted to Turgeon leaving the program with “complete and utter shock.” As Manning understands, Turgeon made a decision “he felt was best for himself, for his family, but more importantly, for this team.

He thought that our team needed a different voice.” “He was like, ‘Danny, we’re close. We gotta fine tune some areas and we can string together some games. I think a new voice can help move in that direction a lot quicker,'” Manning added. “And to me, that’s an extremely unselfish piece for him to recognize that in his eyes, but also to follow through with it.” And then there are the Turgeonites, the Maryland superfans who dress in suits like Turgeon.

The tradition started in 2011, and on Sunday, half a dozen fans showed up in the lower bowl of Section 102, where the Turgeonites typically sit, wearing suits and paper bags over their head. They removed the paper bags during the game and held up a banner that read, “Open to Work @Manningites ” to announce their rebrand.

“We adored him as a coach,” Zach Arter, one of the Turgeonites, tells City Paper, “We knew he wasn’t the absolute best He wasn’t perfect. No one is.” Arter is a senior economics major from Annapolis, Maryland, and has been a Turgeonite for two seasons, not counting last year when fans were not allowed at games due to the pandemic.

He plans to continue going to games even as the confidence in the team wanes, and hopes that the Turgeonite tradition can live on. “We’re not too sure what the future is gonna look like, but we’re hoping for the best,” Arter says. “Honestly, I would like to see more support, and I’m going to graduate next year, so I really hope this continues the tradition.

I don’t wanna let it go.” Ayala, too, believe there are better days ahead for the Maryland men’s basketball program. “As a team, we kinda got to still keep fighting, because nobody’s gonna have sympathy for us,” he said. “We go out there, playing games, nobody’s gonna care that we just lost a coach and somebody that meant a lot to our program So, as a team, we kind of got to just keep fighting.

Who won the Maryland Hopkins lacrosse game?

No.1 Maryland men’s lacrosse cruises to 16-11 win against Johns Hopkins in Big Ten semifinal

COLLEGE PARK — The Johns Hopkins men’s lacrosse team kept it respectable.That was perhaps the silver lining for the Blue Jays, who had to sit and mull over the indignity of a 22-7 whipping — their most lopsided setback in history — by archrival Maryland on April 23.But in the end, the top-ranked Terps were their usual overwhelming selves in a 16-11 victory Thursday evening in a Big Ten Tournament semifinal at Maryland Stadium.

Maryland (13-0), the lone undefeated team in NCAA Division I play and the top seed in the conference postseason, advanced to its fifth title game in seven years. It will meet No.2 seed Rutgers (13-2) — a 12-10 winner over No.3 seed Ohio State (10-5) in the second semifinal — on Saturday at 8 p.m.

1. The Terps leaned on their leading all-time points leader in fifth-year senior attackman Logan Wisnauskas.
2. The Sykesville resident and Boys’ Latin graduated raised his career point total to 314 after amassing a game-high seven points on four goals and three assists.
3. Wisnauskas got plenty of help on the offensive side.

Fellow starting attackmen Keegan Khan, a graduate student transfer from Villanova, and Eric Malever, a sophomore, each registered two-goal, two-assist performances, fifth-year senior midfielder Anthony DeMaio found the net three times and senior midfielder Kyle Long (one goal, two assists) and sophomore midfielder Owen Murphy (two goals, one assist) enjoyed matching three-point efforts.

Junior goalkeeper Logan McNaney made a game-high 14 saves, senior long-stick midfielder John Geppert caused two turnovers and picked up two ground balls, and senior defenseman Brett Makar forced two turnovers and shut out senior attackman Joey Epstein, who finished with almost as many turnovers (two) as shots (three).

Makar said he and his teammates had braced themselves for a different Johns Hopkins squad. “It’s win-or-go-home for them,” he said. “We knew they were going to come out fighting and aggressive. For a lot of those guys that have been around, we knew that this could potentially be their last game, and we knew some of their players were going to be a little more aggressive and try to get theirs and win some more matchups.

Credit to them. That just shows the leadership that they have for them to come out and fight and not lay down to us.” The last time these teams met, Maryland sprinted to an 8-1 lead just 2:05 into the second quarter and a 12-4 advantage by halftime. On Thursday, Johns Hopkins proved to be a tougher matchup.

Trailing 4-2 after the first quarter, the Blue Jays got goals from senior attackman Garrett Degnon and sophomore midfielder Johnathan Peshko within a 77-second span of the second quarter to tie the score at 4 with 13:11 left in the frame. The four goals matched what they had scored in three quarters against the Terps in last month’s showdown.

• But Maryland closed out the second quarter with four unanswered goals and added a fifth from Long in transition just 45 seconds into the third.
• When junior attackman Jacob Angelus converted a pass from graduate student midfielder Connor DeSimone on an extra-man opportunity with 13:01 left, that snapped a 15:10 drought for Johns Hopkins.

The Terps proceeded to score five of six goals in the remainder of the quarter to take a 14-6 advantage into the fourth that pretty much cemented the outcome. Maryland has now won five straight against Hopkins, its longest winning streak in a series that dates to 1923.

• The game was Maryland’s first since that thumping of the Blue Jays.
• McNaney said he and his teammates tried to make sure they didn’t collect much rust during the extended layoff.
• I think we had to stay true to ourselves,” he said.
• When we had some time off, we still compete in practice and everything.

We push each other on and off the field, in the weight room, academics, all of that good stuff. I think just maintaining our same mindset kind of helped us, and we have great leadership that kind of helped us kind of push through that time off and win today.” DeSimone, who had two assists, said Johns Hopkins strayed from its game plan of using lengthy offensive possessions to wear down Maryland’s stingy defense.

• We took some opportunities earlier in the possession and early in the offense that unfortunately didn’t work out, and it kind of gave them an opportunity to kind of put their foot on the gas,” he said.
• But credit to that team.
• They’re a great team, and they took advantage of slip-ups and poor shot placement.

They were up and out a little bit earlier than anticipated.” Degnon led the Blue Jays (7-9) with four goals, and Angelus added three of his own and one assist. Senior faceoff specialist Matt Narewski won 10-of-20 draws, picked up six ground balls, and scored once, and sophomore Tyler Dunn (Calvert Hall) won 5-of-6 and scooped up four loose balls.

1. Although Johns Hopkins will miss the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive season, coach Peter Milliman said he was proud of the players’ efforts compared with the first meeting.
2. I think we got a little rattled last time, and this team is impressive,” he said.
3. I think we felt like we were going to be in a good place, and we got shook pretty early, and I think that set us back.

We needed to work harder to be a little bit more disciplined, a little bit mentally tougher. I think that would have helped us more than anything last time. I think we just needed to get ourselves a little more focused.” Big Ten Tournament final [email protected] Saturday, 8 p.m.
