Good Start to the Weekend


Maryland kicked off the weekend with a 1-0 men's soccer victory against Boston College in the ACC tournament. The Terps dominated the entire game, but the only goal scored was an own goal from the BC defense after a Chris Brown save. 

The basketball team followed up by cruising easily past an overmatched Bucknell. Maryland's stellar guard play forced the Bison into 20 turnovers, many of them occurring as Bucknell treid to get past Maryland's press. Greivis Vasquez (13 pts, 6 rebs, 6 assists with only 1 turnover), Landon Milbourne (a team-high 16 pts) and Cliff Tucker (14 pts and 5 rebs in only 19 mins) all led the way for the Terps. 

Will the football team complete the weekend, winning against No. 17 UNC? We'll find out in a few hours. UNC is better than them, but Maryland is 5-0 at home this season, and 5-0 against ranked teams in their past five games. I like our chances.
