TERRAPIN ATHLETICS

The University of Maryland has long had one of the most visible, recognizable and successful programs in the country.

Today, Maryland offers 19 intercollegiate sports: 11 for women and eight for men. More than 500 student athletes compete each year at the top level of collegiate athletics, most of them as members of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I teams. Since 2005 alone, Maryland has won 19 national championships, including an NCAA championship in women’s basketball, five in women's lacrosse, five in field hockey and three in men's soccer. The women's lacrosse and men's soccer teams both captured National Championships in the past academic year. Since joining the Big Ten Conference in 2014, Maryland has won a combined 32 Big Ten regular season and tournament championships, which ranks third among all Big Ten schools during that span. Maryland has also seen remarkable upgrades to its sports facilities, including Xfinity Center and major renovations and expansions of Cole Field House, Gossett Football Team House, Maryland Stadium and Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium.
