TERPLAX SENIOR WEEKEND

A great suggestion was made by the Schwartzmen's:
Gather for dinner Friday evening

If anyone is interested please let Cindee know.  We will target 7:30 to get together.  Location not yet decided.

Regarding our tailgate:
Deserts are set so Sophmores please substitute appetizers or a specialty for this very festive day.

As it looks right now - Rain is on the weather forcast.
We will plan to be in Tyser.  This may be a better choice regardless so we can decorate for the seniors.  Bring pictures of the Season if you have any.  Put your name on the back so you get them back.  We will put them on a board to display.

Does anyone have the big banner from last year.  It looked so great when it was put up on the wall.  Decorations will be needed.  Anyone interested with this detail please let me know.  Any suggestions -please let Cindee know this also.

UMD Bends Butler 19-4   Excerpts:
As part of the scoring barrage, six different players posted their first career points at Maryland. Freshman midfielder Thomas Alford (Washington, D.C.) netted two goals in the second half. Fellow classmate Mike Brown (West Hartford, Conn.) also scored twice for the second straight game.

A pair of redshirt freshmen Patrick Howell (Arlington, Va.) and Brent Hargest (Cockeysville, Md.) each notched their first career goals in the second half. Freshman Jay Feeley (Phoenix, Md.) picked up his first career point, as he assisted Howell's goal with 7:10 left in regulation. Junior college transfer Terence Dorsey (Baltimore, Md.) netted his first goal as a Terp to close out the scoring. Freshman Chris Feifs (Durham, N.C.) also had his first assist coming off one of his four face-off wins, in the third quarter.

It is Sean Sullivan's Birthday and Maryellen is bringing a cake.  If you are on the dessert assignment please consider bringing fruit or an appetizer instead - unless you have already prepared something.
Special Note:
Please, as a general rule, wait for the team to get on line to eat before we indulge. They come in a little at a time at first because some of the boys are getting iced, medical or therapy treatments (and who gets to the showers first!)
We seem to need a little more beverage as well.
By the way the Deviled eggs were a big hit!
Thanks
Go Terps!

Terps Shoot Down Dukies 17-12...Ya-Hoo!

Saturday February 28, 2004
TERP SHARP SHOOTERS COME ALIVE IN 14-5 OPENING GAME AT GEORGETOWN!   All the questions about the offense were answered in the first half of this game as the Maryland sticks came to life against a formidable Hoya squad. This was by far the best opening day in 5 years with 60 degree temperatures and sunshine on a dry grass field in this historic part of Washington. The fabulous weather prompted a change of tailgate plans to be outside as we were able to get a spot that was previously unavailable. Thanks to all and on to DUKE!

February 22, 2004

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT EACH SCRIMMAGE HAS SHOWN PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS YEARS TEAM. MANY QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN AS WE HEAD TO GEORGETOWN WITH A LOT RIDING ON THE OUTCOME OF THIS GAME. WE WILL ALL HOPE FOR THE BEST.

THE TAILGATES HAVE ALL BEEN SUCCESSFUL DUE TO THE SPIRIT OF THE PARENT GROUP. THANKS. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH PLANNING, COOPERATION, AND FLEXIBILITY AS WE APPROACH EACH GAME.

WELCOME ONE AND ALL!

THE REAL DEAL IS HERE AT LAST!

SCRIMMAGES START SAT FEB 7TH AT LOYOLA; FEB 14TH AT PRINCETON; FEB 21st SYRACUSE AT COLLEGE PARK.

We will be posting information on this site for coordinating the season and expect to get together on the weekend of February 27th and 28th for a parents gathering. Please watch your email and this site. The team schedule is posted below for convenience and a link to the team's official site is in the column on the left side of this page.

FALL 2003

WELCOME CLASS OF 2007

MARYLAND BANQUET HONORS THE 2003 SEASONS DEPARTING SENIOR CLASS

 The Comcast center was the site of this years banquet which had everything you could want (except air conditioning). The coaches did a great job of honoring last years group with comments, awards, and a highlight tape to recognize their hard work and contributions to the program. 

Also high on the list was the recognition of the team's academic achievements that had the men's lacrosse team second only to the football team in players on the honor role. (This should be adjusted because the football team has twice as many players).

The freshman class was also introduced along with some new transfers to give everyone a glimpse of the new group of men under the helmets. This new crew is also very talented and should be a strong addition to a team losing so many seniors. It seems that the existing squad has also done some work in the off-season as many players appeared stronger and faster than last year as they look to fill the open positions on the field.

Many thanks to the coaches for also providing contact information for the parents group. Please look for this website to provide basic information for the parents as well as through email as indicated below.

We all look forward to the 2004 campaign and a return to Raven's Stadium and its new 'field turf' surface!
