The 25th-ranked Maryland Terrapins will look to continue their fast start to the season, as they take on the Chaminade Silverswords in the first round of the Maui Invitational tonight at Lahaina Civic Center.

Maryland freshman punter Nick Ferrara didn't know it, but his misfiring right foot saved a legend's job Saturday.

Landon Milbourne scored a career-high 24 points, and No. 25 Maryland cruised past New Hampshire 82-55 Friday night in the Terrapins ' final tuneup for the Maui Invitational.

The negative numbers are starting to wear on the Maryland Terrapins. Six straight losses.

The 25th-ranked Maryland Terrapins close out a season-opening three-game homestand this evening, as they welcome the New Hampshire Wildcats to the Comcast Center.

The Maryland football team could use some good news this week. The Terrapins have lost five straight and seven of their last eight after a 1-1 start.

Maryland didn't experience too many problems in its first two games of the season, although star guard Greivis Vasquez's slow start is a slight concern.

For his first season and a half as Maryland's offensive coordinator, James Franklin remained perched in the press box on game days.

Eric Hayes scored 14 points, and No. 25 Maryland celebrated its return to the AP poll with a 71-42 victory over Fairfield on Tuesday night.

As expected, the Hokies were dominant in their 36-9 drubbing of Maryland Saturday in College Park.

The 25th-ranked Maryland Terrapins continue their three-game homestand tonight, as they host the Fairfield Stags in a non-conference clash at the Comcast Center.

With the threat of flooding due to heavy rain in the area, the University of Maryland football team held practice in its off-campus indoor facility Thursday afternoon in preparation for Saturday's Virginia Tech game.

Sophomore quarterback Jamarr Robinson made his first career start for Maryland, but his 129 rushing yards and 104 passing yards weren't enough to overcome No.

Although no longer a candidate for the national championship, No. 20 Virginia Tech still has several worthwhile goals within reach.

Greivis Vasquez made arguably the biggest decision of his life in mid-June, opting to remain at Maryland for a final season after a month jetting from one NBA city to another.

When the women's basketball team was introduced at Maryland Madness in mid-October, one member of the program received by far the loudest ovation from the crowd at Comcast Center. When the spotlight focused on Brenda Frese, fans rose to their feet and loudly cheered for the eighth-year coach.

Frese is the one constant for the Terrapins, who are in the midst of a transition period. She is the program's most recognizable face and the lone remaining link to the 2006 NCAA championship team following the graduation of Kristi Toliver and Marissa Coleman and the offseason departure of longtime assistant Erica Floyd.

It was only 19 months ago Shane Walker made a decision so common in college basketball , quietly transferring from Maryland to Loyola to begin an absence from competition that ends Friday when the Greyhounds host Vermont.

Jamarr Robinson didn't see Maryland quarterback Chris Turner go down. Turner, who had just suffered a knee-ligament injury, was lying on his back on the Carter-Finley Stadium field with his hands over his face in the second quarter of Maryland's 38-31 loss to North Carolina State.

Entering his 21st season as head coach of his alma mater, Gary Williams stands third in Atlantic Coast Conference history and first in Maryland annals with 418 wins ... has directed the Terps to 13 NCAA Tournament berths over the past 16 seasons and has averaged 22.4 wins per season over that span ... with 625 career victories in 31 seasons ...

Give credit to NC State and Maryland for being gracious competitors. The Wolfpack's Homecoming Day football game was an enjoyable a contest as the weather was pleasant in Raleigh Saturday afternoon.
