The Maryland Woman’s Lacrosse rallied today from a 6-0 hole to beat the defending Champion Northwestern Wildcats. Not only is Northwestern the defending champs, but they have won 5 straight National Championships coming into today’s match up. Caitlyn McFadden scored the 12th goal of the day for the Terps with just over 5 minutes left. [...]
The Maryland Men’s Lacrosse team failed to advance to the final four, falling to Notre Dame 7-5 in Princeton, NJ today. This makes this years classs of Seniors only the second classes since 1971 to have never played in a Final Four. That fact will certainly increase the temperature of Dave Cottle’s hot seat. Cottle’s Terps [...]
The Terps turned away a pesky Hofstra team 11-8 to move to the Elite 8. The Terps, taking a cue from Gary Williams Basketball Team are now 12-3 in first round NCAA action. They will travel up to New Jersy next Saturday to take on Notre Dame who knocked off Princeton. This will be interesting [...]
As the Terps move into the Post Season for Lacrosse, once again the story on the field is dwarfed by the events off of it. The Murder of one UVA female Lacrosse player, by a member of the UVA Men’s team is a story that doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon. And it [...]

With the end of the 2010 Draft, two Terps have been selected by NFL teams. Though there were no big named Terps such as last years Darrius Heyward-Bey, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some former Terps who can’t help out on Sunday’s. First to go was Bruce Campbell, who like Heyward-Bey is now joining Jason [...]
Turtledroppings.com would like to congratulate the University of Maryland’s Competitive Cheer Team (or is it squad?) for winning the 2010 National Championship. The Terps beat out the University of Louisville for the crown. For the Terps this is their 4th championship in 5 years. Can you say dynasty?!?! Want to see some highlights? Click below: [...]
Lance “Born Ready” Stephenson is leaving Cincinnati for the NBA. You may remember Stephenson as the pivitol piece of the story that the Washington Post ran on Gary Williams’s inability to recruit.
