Maryland volleyball season recap

The 2025 season had its ups during the non-conference slate, but it was nothing but down during the conference slate for Maryland volleyball.  The Terps finished 8-22 in Adam Hughes’ eighth year as head coach, his second-worst single-season record at the helm. 2025 was a big letdown following a 14-17 record in 2024.

Maryland men’s soccer’s global roster is powering its best season in years

The landscape of college soccer looks drastically different from when Sasho Cirovski took over Maryland men’s soccer back in 1993. Cirovski’s recruiting approach in recent years has reflected that.
