Braden Erksa handed out six assists, setting a new career-high in helpers, the most by a Terp since Logan Wisnauskas had seven against Johns Hopkins on March 6, 2021. He also added a goal for a career-best seven points. The Terps other goals came from Jack Koras, Kyle Long, Owen Murphy, Eric Spanos, Zach Whittier and Brett Makar. For Makar, the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, it was his first goal this season and second of his career.

Long and Murphy each had a pair of assists for three-point games.

Rutgers (8-6) was led by Jack Aimone, who had four goals and an assist. Ross Scott had four assists.

From Coach Tillman

"Proud of our guys. Not a work of art, but at this time of year teams are playing for their lives. With 21 seniors, we knew Rutgers would give their all. They're obviously a talented team, a Final Four team last year. Happy for our guys to get a win and to have an opportunity to continue in the tournament. The crowd was awesome today. We looked at this as another opportunity to get back playing in Maryland Stadium after last week, just an opportunity to walk off the field and feel a little differently this time. It wasn't always clean, it wasn't always pretty, but I thought Jake, Jess and Tim did a great job with the gameplans and the guys really committed to them and played unselfishly and hard."

Interesting read on Locksley's thoughts about taking a bulk of that Big Ten TV money and creating a salary cap. Obviously, this would help the Marylands of the world and would likely make P5 college football more balanced overall. The Alabamas and Michigans of the world would no longer be able to simply outspend the competition. That said, schools directly paying players would likely present a lot of problems. The biggest, IMO (and not mentioned in the article), is the fact that direct payments would essentially make football players university employees. Ones that would likely want to unionize and get the same perks as tenured professors. Curious what you all think about this idea.

ROSEMONT, Ill. (April 26, 2023) — The Big Ten Conference announces its 2023 Men’s Lacrosse awards on Wednesday, with Penn State’s TJ Malone earning Offensive Player of the Year honors. Maryland’s Brett Makar was named Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive year, while teammate Braden Erksawas named Freshman of the Year. Penn State’s Jack Fracyon was named Specialist of the Year, with Nittany Lions’ head coach Jeff Tambroni claiming Coach of the Year accolades.

Malone was named Offensive Player of the Year after leading the conference with 54 points, while his 26 goals and 28 assists ranked fifth and second in league, respectively. The graduate attackman, who was recently named to the Tewaaraton Top 25 List, has scored three plus goals four times this season including a career-high eight-point outing against Johns Hopkins on April 8 with four goals and four assists.

Makar anchored a defensive unit that ranked second in the Big Ten and 13th in the country, allowing just 10.42 goals per game. The graduate student joined Malone on the Tewaaraton Top 25 List after pairing 17 caused turnovers and 36 ground ball, including four games with at least five.

Fracyon was named the Big Ten’s top specialist after leading the conference in goals against average (10.03), save percentage (.582) and saves per game (13.83). The sophomore net minder also ranked in the nation’s top 10 in all three categories. Fracyon went 9-3 on the season and recorded at least nine saves in all 12 contest, surpassing 15 stops on six occasions.

Erksa was named Freshman of the Year after totaling 32 points on 17 goals and 15 assists. The freshman attackman recorded three points in his collegiate debut and never looked back. The Marietta, Ga. native tallied at least one point in 11 of his 12 games and at least three points in seven games, including a season-high five points against Johns Hopkins on April 22.

Tambroni earned his second Big Ten Coach of the Year honor after leading the Nittany Lions to a No. 5 national ranking, the program’s second Big Ten Conference regular season championship and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Conference tournament. At 9-3 overall and 4-1 in the league, Penn State leads the conference in points per game (21.58) and scoring defense (10.17), both ranking among the best in the country.

Deion Sanders,

“Do I look like a man that worries about anything? Did you see the way I walked in here? Did you see the swagger that was with me? Worry? Baby, I’m too blessed to be stressed. … I don’t even wear cologne — that’s confidence I’m wearing right now.”
“We’re going to be good. We’re really going to be good,” the two-time Super Bowl winner added. “I do not worry. You need to worry about getting a spot in here the next time we do this, because there’s going to be more cameras than this. That’s the worry.”

GWP....That is what I have always called Dickinsion....

Had someone ask me about this yesterday afternoon and took me a little while to confirm, but Maryland hosted Indiana transfer Jordan Geronimo yesterday.

At 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, he's a big, physical wing forward that is not afraid to mix things up in the paint and is really good at using his athleticism and explosiveness as a rim protector on defense. While I am calling him a wing forward, he has basically been used exclusively as an undersized four man and doesn't really take many three-point shots. And like I said, while he's on the smaller side at 6-foot-6, he's an excellent shot blocker and rim protector.

While he averaged just 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game last season, he did start six games for an injured Race Thompson and fared pretty well in most of those games. He had 6 points, 6 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks at PSU, 12 points and 11 rebounds versus Wisconsin and had 13 points, 8 boards, an assist and 3 blocks at Illinois.

He was a top-100 prospect according to Rivals coming out of high school. And while he graduated high school up in New England and played for Vin Pastore and Mass Rivals on the adidas shoe circuit, he is originally from New Jersey, so Willard is plenty familiar with him. Also worth noting, both of his parents played college basketball. His dad played here in Annapolis, while his mom played for UNC.

Geronimo also entered the transfer portal following his freshman year at IU after Archie Miller was fired. Willard and Seton Hall aggressively pursued him then.

It does sound like he's a take regardless of what happens with Dickinson. So they would be making room one way or another. And while he was a junior this past season, he does still have two years of eligibility remaining due to COVID.
