Maryland men’s lacrosse named No. 7 overall seed in NCAA Tournament, will host Princeton in first round
Maryland men’s lacrosse was named the No. 7 overall seed in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, it was announced Sunday. As a top-eight seed, the Terps will host Princeton on May 11 at 7:30 p.m.
The Terps convincingly defeated the Tigers, 13-7, on February 24th in College Park. Princeton is on on a four-game winning streak, though, having just won the Ivy League Championship.
Maryland, on the other hand, has endured an up-and-down season and is on a two-game losing streak.
The Terps started the year on a good note, winning their opening four contests over Richmond, Loyola, Syracuse and Princeton.
Maryland’s first loss of the season came on the road against the reigning champions and No. 1 seed Notre Dame. The Terps went on to narrowly escape what would have been a disastrous loss against Brown at home, before falling to Virginia and Michigan.
The Terps responded to the losing streak with three straight conference victories over Penn State, Ohio State and Rutgers. Then, Maryland lost “The Rivalry” to Johns Hopkins in its worst offensive effort of the year, managing just five goals, before getting thrashed by Penn State in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals, 19-9.
The winner of Maryland and Princeton will take on the winner of Duke and Utah in the quarterfinals.

Local leaders in Md. unite for Juneteenth Heritage Festival
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore spoke about the difference between liberation and freedom, in the opening ceremony of the 2026 Scotland Juneteenth Heritage Festival, in one of Montgomery County’s oldest historic Black communities.
In Cabin John Regional Park, Moore was joined by local dignitaries, including descendants of William Dove, the first formerly enslaved man who purchased 36 acres of farmland in 1880 for $210, located in what is now Potomac.
Moore said that ending slavery was an important moment of liberation, celebrated by Juneteenth, “but liberation is not freedom.”
Even after liberation, Moore said that “the idea of freedom became something that still remained elusive.”
When Dove purchased property in the Scotland community, Moore said that economic empowerment was a step toward freedom.
“The freedom to be able to own more than you owe. A freedom to be able to pass something along to your children besides debt. A freedom to be able to walk freely, knowing that you should be able to feel safe in your own community, in your own neighborhood, and in your own skin,” said Moore.

A University of Maryland (UMD) football player was arrested for harassment, according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.
Dontay Joyner, a defensive back and rising senior at UMD, was charged with telephone misuse for making repeated calls, electronic communications harassment, and violating release conditions, a misdemeanor offense, according to court records.
Joyner’s attorney is calling the ordeal “outrageous,” saying “[Joyner] has been locked in a cage in Harford County for seven nights after being charged with a misdemeanor for telephone misuse for texting his longtime girlfriend during an argument. This is simply outrageous.”
Joyner’s attorney, Former Attorney General Douglas Gansler, said the 21-year-old has never been in trouble with the law and does not own a handgun. According to Gansler, Joyner’s girlfriend is “fully supportive of him and does not want to press charges.”
According to the UMD Terps website, Joyner is a Lakeland, Florida, native who previously attended Arkansas State. In the spring, Joyner was given the Nick Cross Defensive Back Award in a tradition that honors “past terrapin greats.”
According to court records, Joyner was held without bond.
WJZ has reached out to UMD officials for comment.
