The Maryland sports offseason is here, and it was a wild year for Terrapin athletics. There were national championships in men’s soccer and women’s lacrosse, and a trip to the title game in field hockey. Maryland athletes won some of the highest honors in their sports. But there were also some lows, both on and off the field.
This summer, we’re going in-depth on every Maryland varsity program, taking a glimpse at where it’s been and where it’s going. We’ve broken down 13 teams thus far, and now we’ll take a look at tennis.
