WeWork to arrive by fall Coworking space eyes Hotel area for first location in state Workspace and business services provider WeWork will move into the University of Maryland’s Discovery District this fall.

The company will open a location featuring more than 300 desks, private office space, co n fe re n ce ro o m s a n d co m m u n a l a rea s i n a re p u r p o s e d b u i l d i n g a c r o s s f r o m Diamondback Garage.

Officials are aiming for an opening date in August or September, said Ken Ulman, this university’s Chief Strategy Officer.

Anyone will be able to rent portions of the space, and this university is working to build partnerships between WeWork and university groups to reduce the cost, Ulman said.

“It’s the kind of facility that will be attractive to student and faculty-led startups that are looking for a place to grow their company as they’re moving off of an idea created on campus,” Ulman said.

The Discovery District, which includes The Hotel, is a rebranding effort to upgrade the area that has already drawn partners like Capital One and cybersecurity companies BlueVoyant and Immuta — all of which will set up shop in the Garage. by

SGA allows MaryPIRG referendum Ballot question would let org apply to fund salaries The University of Maryland’s SGA voted Wednesday night to allow a referendum about funding salaries for two MaryPIRG staff members to appear in its upcoming election.

The motion was approved 26-2, with three abstentions.

The referendum, which is split into two separate questions, will ask students whether MaryPIRG should be allowed to apply to fund a campus organizer, and for a state director.

Funding the campus organizer would cost $24,389 in fiscal 2019, while funding a state director would cost $8,806 in fiscal 2019, according to the referendum. by

Cedric Nwafor said he understands what it means to be hungry — so the University of Maryland student used his passion for agriculture to help remedy the issue for others.

Nwafor, a Cameroon native, has wanted to help developing countries with agricultural issues since starting school at this university. Members of ROOTS Africa, a student organization he founded in the fall 2017 semester, headed to Liberia for their spring break, bringing more advanced agricultural research and technology such as soil nutrient test kits to the region.

Eight people from this university went on the trip, including six students with ROOTS Africa. The organization raised about $20,000 to help cover the cost.

A key aspect in achieving the group’s goal of combating poverty and hunger is improving agriculture in developing countries, Nwafor said. The club works to educate and train people in such countries on agricultural practices, he added.

“I am passionate about agriculture because I know it’s the only way to feed the hungry and economically help improve that situation,” said Nwafor, a senior agriculture and resource economics major.

Junior agriculture and resource economics major Brian Glenn said the trip meant more to him than just helping with agricultural practices.

“Right when we got off the bus, it was just handshakes and hugs everywhere,” Glenn said. “We grew so close with the students and the local village people during this trip.

It was incredible.”

During their week in Liberia, the students, the organization’s adviser and a photographer from the agriculture and natural resources college partnered with Liberian International Christian College — where two Maryland alumni work — for a conference and visited three

ormer University System of Maryland Chancellor Brit Kirwan has fond memories of a lunch with his longtime friend Cliff Kendall in October.

Kendall, already a prominent donor to the system, took Kirwan out to eat after hearing of a fundraising campaign that was in the works.

“I have a feeling this is going to be a very expensive lunch for me,” Kirwan, also the cochair of the University of Maryland’s capital campaign, remembers Kendall saying.

By the end of the meal, Kendall had committed a significant donation to this university’s campaign, Kirwan said.

sga From p. 1 The referendum is part of a biennial process to establish funding for non-student leader salaries. There is a precedent of MaryPIRG using referenda to apply for funding every two years, in accordance with the Student Government Association’s bylaws, which usually don’t allow for student organizations to pay salaries out of its funds.

If students answer “yes” to these questions, it does not guarantee MaryPIRG would receive the funding from the SGA’s Finance Committee. It would only allow the organization to apply for funding, with the outcome determined by the committee.

MaryPIRG President Ary Papadopoulos said being able to pay for an organizer was crucial to the organization’s function.

“The campus organizer is on campus every single day, they work 50-hour weeks with us — students — directly,” said Papadopoulos, a senior public health science major.

MaryPIRG campus organizer on Monday after the previous organizer resigned, citing health concerns. Azimi said he got this job by being active in the national coalition of student PIRGs’ recent opensource textbook campaign.

“You’re here on the students’ schedule, but it’s so much fun working with students,” Azimi said. “Honestly, a dream job.”

Azimi will be finishing the year as MaryPIRG’s campus organizer, but he said he was not guaranteed the position next year.

Buskirk said this is a matter of procedure, then “usually through appeals, MaryPIRG is funded.” swilliamsdbk@gmail.com

research

A University of Maryland professor’s study found a correlation between the health of people in counties across the nation and tweets about happiness, food choices and physical activity from those areas.

Using those tweets from about 3,000 counties, principal investigator Quynh Nguyen found a relationship between them and lower rates of premature mortality and obesity, as well as higher rates of physical activity.

Obesity prevalence was about 2 percent lower in counties with the highest percentages of tweets about happy or healthy subjects, according to the study, and there were 714 fewer premature deaths per 100,000 people.

Social media is now becoming a key source of data for researchers, said Nguyen, who is also a professor in this university’s public health school.

The building is owned by this university and has been leased to Chesapeake Realty Partners, which will pay

“WeWork does its own work.

Kendall, a graduate of this university, was a longtime chairman of the system’s Board of Regents.

System Chancellor Robert C a re t , w h o s a i d h e m e t Kendall in 1995, noted his importance to the system in a news release Thursday.

“Beyond his achievements as a business and civic leader or his role guiding the expansion of educational opportunities in Maryland, Cliff was a truly good, humane and gracious man, which is how his many friends will remember him,” Caret wrote in the statement.

Joshua Michael, who served as a student regent for the system during Kendall’s tenure, said he appreciated Kendall’s support for college affordability, including his work on a system textbook affordability policy.

During the 2008 economic recession, Kendall provided “steady yet visionary leadership” as the “backbone” of the system, he said.

Kirwan said Kendall’s leadership

was crucial to keeping tuition affordable for Marylanders during this recession, as he fought for financial support at the state level.

“With him heading the board, I always had the feeling that … no matter what happened that we were going to come out on the other side strong as a system,” said Michael, then a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

University President Wallace Loh said Kendall was among those who took him to lunch after Loh was offered the post in 2010.

“He came across as very thoughtful, very considerate, eager for me to accept the offer and come to University of Maryland. He simply was incredibly welcoming,” Loh said.

“I think it’s part of why I accepted the offer.”

Kendall,whom some described as a family man, was married to his wife for more than 60 years. The couple’s four sons all attended this university, Loh said.

Kendall was a big fan of Maryland sports, and a frequent

attendee at basketball games, Loh said. Kendall was also a quiet supporter for the school’s transition from the ACC to the Big Ten, he added.

“I talked to him quietly and he got it and he supported it, even though the vast majority of the public did not,” Loh said. “He was there when I needed him the most, not just for that but for other issues as well.”

Kendall also played an instrumental role in creating the Universities at Shady Grove to provide a strong educational option for students

in Montgomery County, Loh said, which was all part of his goal to make college more accessible.

The two didn’t agree on everything — Loh advocated for the above-ground construction of the Purple Line on the campus, while Kendall opposed it, Loh said. But even when they disagreed, Kendall handled it with grace, Loh said.

“Even though we had very opposing viewpoints on this, he listened respectfully to what I had to say,” Loh said.“[After the Board of Regents vote] he came up to me, shook my hand and congratulated

me on the outcome even though he opposed the outcome. He symbolized in my mind some of the best values of this country.”

Eve n w i t h a l l t h a t h e accomplished in life, Kendall remained modest, Kirwan said.

“He was such a humble person.

Despite all of his success it was never about him,” Kirwan said.

“My goodness, how we have benefited because he lived and because he cared so much about the university and its students.”

Counseling Center supports students Sharon Kirkland-Gordon Counseling Center director

Ove r t h e pa s t decade in this country, significant progress has been made in reducing the social stigma of seeking help for psychological problems.

On college campuses, this has generated increases in the number of requests for services at counseling centers.

At the University of Maryland Counseling Center, requests have risen 24 percent in the past three years.

The staff at the Counseling Center applauds this university’s students for raising awareness of the importance of college student mental health. Student groups such as Active Minds, the Student Government Association and Scholars Promoting and Revitalizing Care are educating our community about tending to mental health, confronting stigma by normalizing help-seeking and advocating for sufficient resources for the growing numbers of individuals who are willing to seek services on this campus and in the community.

The Counseling Center is committed to helping students in need. We strive to provide timely initial consultation appointments to determine the nature and impact of the problems and identify appropriate treatment options.

Students should know that if they are experiencing a mental health crisis, the Counseling Center provides same-day emergency appointments with a counselor to address the crisis and discuss the best approach for treatment.

Although there are some periods when surges in the volume of requests at the Counseling Center cause an extended wait for certain services, we generally can schedule consultation appointments with a therapist within two weeks of the appointment request.

Beyond the consultation session, assignment of non-urgent cases to ongoing individual counseling sessions with a therapist may be delayed when appointment requests climb.

This typically occurs prior to midterm exams and final exams. Again, even during peak periods, we prioritize students facing

urgent issues and provide them with immediate emergency appointments.

After hours, students have access to a free crisis call-in service staffed by mental health professionals.

The majority of appointment requests are for non-urgent situations. In some cases, the consultation appointment is successful in helping students gain insight into their problems and acquire strategies for improving their academic and personal functioning.

When ongoing individual counseling sessions are recommended by the therapist, students typically have the option of waiting for a Counseling Center therapist or receiving a referral from our care manager to an off-campus provider who may be available sooner.

Depending on the issues of concern, other Counseling Center services may be recommended. These include group therapy and workshops targeted at anxiety and depression.

We continually evaluate our services to provide the most timely support we can to our students. We will continue to collaborate with student advocacy groups and student leaders to improve access to mental health services and expand service options for the growing numbers of help-seekers.

New approaches have been added, such as online therapy, and students have raised with us the possibility of an additional student fee that would contribute to new resources.

We hope that clarifying service procedures at the Counseling Center will help answer questions about access to our services and alleviate concerns about possible wait times. No student in urgent need should avoid contacting the Counseling Center for help.

Politicians should start planning for what’s next JOCIE BROTH/THE DIAMONDBACK

column

Our statehouses need more women Jack Lewis @OpinionDBK Columnist

The New York Times published an article in 2014 titled “Glass Ceilings in Statehouses in the Northeast,” which highlighted gender disparities in the political systems of solidly blue states. The article examined the dynamics that have kept women out of the governor’s mansion, from lack of party support to voter sexism. It also pointed out the importance of the governorship in handing out patronage jobs, a fact that entrenches existing male power structures.

Four years later, little has changed, with only two female De m o c ra t i c gove r n o rs. O f course, many pundits predict big Democratic gains come November. Talk of the “blue wave” might stir visions of women breaking into state boys’ clubs.

But I worry that, even now, the Democratic Party is not serious about electing women to statewide office. In Maryland, we have a chance to change that.

Maryland has never elected a woman as governor (neither has Pennsylvania, New York or Massachusetts). There are currently no women serving in Maryland’s 14 statewide and federal offices.

That alone is a problem, but more than just symbolically.

In February, the Maryland

Women’s Caucus released a report on sexual harassment in Annapolis. It detailed male lawmakers groping women, making inappropriate comments and creating a “fraternity house” atmosphere. The culture of our statehouse is toxic and indicative of policy that fails women. We need women in statewide office because institutional change won’t happen any other way.

But the path to becoming governor may be uniquely challenging for female candidates. The Times cited analysts who argued that voters are more comfortable with women serving in collective bodies, like Congress, than as executives.

The Times also pointed out that few women have had the desire or wealth to fund their own gubernatorial campaigns in the past. Meanwhile, businessmen like Gov. Larry Hogan lack political experience but are rich enough to lower their dependence on party resources.

The standards we place on male and female candidates are disparate, as it’s difficult to imagine a woman with little previous political experience being elected governor.

Across the country, a record number of women are running for governor this year. In Maryland, however, the field of nine Democratic contenders includes just one woman, Krish

Vignarajah. She formerly served as policy director for Michelle Obama and was a senior adviser at the State Department before that. Her campaign focuses on changing policies that reflect a lack of female representation.

Vignarajah points to failed childcare and senior care, declining schools, high rates of domestic violence and the wage gap to illustrate that claim. She also has proposed a cabinet that reflects Maryland’s gender makeup, paid family leave, improvements to maternity care and an end to the wage gap in government jobs.

She has chosen Sharon Blake, the former president of the Baltimore Teachers Union, as her running mate. This makes them the first-ever ticket of women of color. If elected, they would be the first all-female ticket to become governor and Lt. governor in the nation. They deserve to be taken seriously.

No “blue wave” can be truly progressive unless it puts power in the hands of women, especially women of color. For too long, Maryland has prided itself as forward-looking while simultaneously electing white men again and again. We should not be proud of our state’s government until it is a reflection of us all. jlewis20@umd.edu

Max Foley-Keene @MaxFoleyKeene Opinion editor

Donald Trump will someday no longer be president, and it’s about time activists, politicians and citizens start planning for what comes next.

There’s a danger in straying one’s eyes from the challenges of the present, but progressives’ vision for post-Trump reality, whenever it finally comes, will inform their activism today, their behavior in the 2018 midterms and their preferred candidates in 2020.

The most important question about America’s post-Trump political culture is this: Do liberals and progressives want American politics to go back to normal? Or do they want an even more radical and tumultuous future, albeit in a different ideological direction?

Normalcy is certainly appealing, especially to liberals of a specific socio-economic class.

Trump’s evils have drawn the previously apathetic into the political arena.

Reading and following news in the Trump era is unpleasant, so, for many liberals, it would be nice to behave like they did during the Obama era — lightly engaged in politics but mostly distant from its daily tumult.

If the broad anti-Trump resistance goes in this direction, it might nominate congressional candidates like Connor Lamb and Jon Ossoff, folks who won’t go along with the radical GOP agenda but also won’t agitate for disruptive change. It might select a candidate like Joe Biden for president.

Many people, especially comfortably upper-middle class liberals, could finally stop checking Twitter. They could pretend the Trump presidency never happened.

But this future would be a tragedy. It would forfeit the very real opportunity for a radical political movement toward equality, racial justice and social democracy.

The only — and I mean only — good thing about the Trump presidency is that it’s erased constraints of normalcy. Activists and politicians have become liberated from the establishment wisdom that used to dictate what

was possible in American politics.

Teachers in West Virginia won a massive strike at a time when we’re told the labor movement is in irreversible decline. Many prospective candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination have endorsed a singlepayer health care system only a couple years after the Democratic nominee explained that single-payer will “never, ever come to pass.”

Rev. William Barber II has launched a Poor People’s Campaign for racial and economic justice, suggesting that an authentic and powerful religious left may be more than a fantasy. And a group of high school students have decided they won’t let mass shootings become a permanent feature of the American educational experience.

If anti-Trump folks decide they hate news alerts more than they hate injustice, these burgeoning movements may be relegated to the political fringe. If Democrats choose normalcy over social democracy, post-Trump America may look a lot like pre-Trump America.

But police frequently shot black people with impunity in pre-Trump America. Pre-Trump America featured some of the worst child poverty rates in the developed world. In pre-Trump America, liberal darling Barack Obama deported immigrants at a faster rate than the current president.

Normal is not an option. Citizens are becoming dissatisfied with the roots of their political and economic systems, and America’s intellectual and moral energy is on the left for the first time in decades. It’s a glorious opportunity for radical imagination and moral revival. The years after Trump aren’t meant for rest — they’re meant for revolution. maxfkcap2016@gmail.com

Device OK’d for Albion Rd Meetings will end at 11 p.m.; Anacostia area discussed The College Park City Council debated topics involving traffic-caliming d ev i ce s, co u n c i l r u l e s and procedures and the Anacostia Trails Heritage Area on Tuesday night. Here’s a roundup of each discussion and its resolution. by

traffic-calming device on albion road The city council voted unanimously to approve a traffic-calming device on Albion Road, the southernmost road in College Park, according to City Engineer Steven Halpern.

On Nov. 8, city clerks received a trafficcalming petition signed by more than 60 percent of the block’s residents, Halpern said.

A 48-hour traffic study conducted on Dec. 2 and Dec. 3 showed the average daily vehicle volume on the street is 134 vehicles, and nearly 29 percent of vehicles exceed the 25 mph speed limit by at least 5 mph.

Paul Marchione, a 13-year resident of the street, testified in favor of the device, saying it was “telling” that none of his neighbors came to the council meeting because they were home with their kids — a testament to how “kid-friendly” he said the street is.

“As someone who has walked his dog up and down that street for the last eight years, I can tell you anecdotally … nine out of 10 cars come down our street and then take the left onto Rhode Island [Avenue],” he said. “They

the u’s new brew Wojahn, Loh on hand as Hyattsville-based Vigilante Coffee opens College Park location

By Teresa Johnson | @thedbk | Freelance reporter Vigilante Coffee celebrated its grand opening March 26, drawing students, residents and community leaders.

Situated on Route 1 between the University View apartment buildings, the business held a soft opening March 14. This event, however, celebrated the shop’s official opening and featured guest speakers and free coffee samples.

University of Maryland President Wallace Loh and Mayor Patrick Wojahn attended the celebration.

The establishment has “the best coffee in the state of Maryland,” Loh said, adding he hopes to see another location open in the near future.

Wojahn said the city and its residents have been “eager to see this for a long time,” adding coffee shops are critical in making a great college town.

Vigilante Coffee’s first location is in Hyattsville, but the shop’s founder and owner, Chris Vigilante, said he wanted to bring this to the university’s community. The new Vigilante Coffee replaced #1 Liquors.

PG suing Trump over census plan County, NAACP join suit as citizenship question floated Prince George’s County joined the NAACP in filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Wednesday, citing concerns that a lack of funding for the proposed 2020 census will “substantially undercount” the black population, according to an NAACP news release.

The lawsuit specifically names acting U.S. Census Bureau Director Ron Jarmin, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and President Trump as the defendants. The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, and alleges that the planned census will cause a decrease in federal funding and inequalities in political representation — both of which are influenced by census counts.

The NAACP Prince George’s County branch is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit, which includes its president, Bob Ross.

The 2010 census count for Prince George’s County missed 2.3 percent of its population of roughly 860,000 people, making it the largest undercount of any county in Maryland and one of the largest in the nation. It also presented an undercount of 2.1 percent of African-Americans, The Washington Post reported, as well as a 1.5 percent undercount of Hispanic-Americans.

In 2010, 64.5 percent of Prince George’s County residents identified as black or African-American, according to census data. The county had the greatest black population in Maryland, according to Department of Health and Mental Hygiene data.

By Jack Roscoe | @Jack_Micky | Senior staff writer A new apartment building is expected to deliver its first units this winter at 4700 Berwyn House Rd., where a five-alarm fire in April 2017 destroyed most of Fuse 47 — the original building on the site — before it could open to the public.

Wood Partners, which also developed Fuse 47, is now opening “Alloy by Alta,” a 275-unit apartment building, at the previous site of Fuse 47, Wood Partners director Scott Zimmerly said.

Geared toward students and young professionals, Alloy by Alta will feature a pool area, clubroom, shared working space and expansive fitness center, a press release said.

“Of the existing apartment communities, we’re pushing the envelope, and we should be the most modern and sophisticated apartment living offered in College Park,” Zimmerly said.

Founded 1910, independent since 1971.

“It’s nice that it’s coffee [instead], which is something that I can drink more than alcohol.”

Baliga added she will be living in The View next year and said she is excited “to have something to just stop by on the way to class.”

Brian Dunn, an alumnus of this university, said he believes this location is great for students to get coffee on the go, but it also serves as a great meeting place. As a small business owner, Dunn said its central location in College Park makes it a “perfect location to meet at.” “[When] alumni such as myself need people to come down to go to a show at MilkBoy or a game over at Xfinity, it’s a great location,” Dunn said. “It seems like it has a real central community already, you get that sense of a great place to be.”

Vigilante also said he wanted to add more seating in the shop’s patio area and a possible greenhouse at the front.

people to work and a happy place for people to enjoy coffee, and if those things happen, then usually the success part will take care of itself,” Vigilante said.

Vigilante said unlike their Hyattsville location, the College Park shop is “built for speed and efficiency” instead of a place for people to gather.

The establishment has also brought in Bakeshop, a bakery in Arlington, Virginia, to supply the cafe with cookies and other sweet treats.

Jack Cowan, a senior computer science major, said he lives in The View and the coffee shop’s location is convenient for him.

“If I wanted a coffee in the morning, I can go grab one,” Cowan said.

Mira Baliga, a sophomore computer science major, also attended Monday’s event and said she’d heard about Vigilante Coffee from pictures she’s seen posted on Snapchat and Instagram of the shop’s Hyattsville location.

“It was really cool and how this used to be an old liquor shop,” Baliga said.

The design for Alloy by Alta is the same as it was for Fuse 47, Zimmerly said. Because Fuse 47 never opened, he said, there was no need to change anything except the name.

In addition to the high standard of living at Alloy by Alta, Zimmerly said the apartment building is at “one of the best locations in town.” The building’s proximity to the University of Maryland, the College Park Metro Station and nearby retail will appeal to individuals of any age who want to live in College Park, he said.

College Park City-University Partnership Executive Director Eric Olson said the apartments will help create a more vibrant and unique midtown area — north of the campus — by putting people within walking distance of what it has to offer.

“We have reached the point where the market is very near sa t u ra t i o n [w i t h s t u d e n t housing], and we need to focus on bringing some more diversity of housing options into College Park,” Wojahn said.

Projects like Alloy by Alta will help bring in long-term residents who stay in the city and support local businesses all year, Wojahn said, whereas students at this university leaving during the summer and winter months prevents the economy from being stable year-round.

Both the city and this university have been supportive in getting the apartment building open, Zimmerly said, and Alloy

places such as Vigilante Coffee, The Board and Brew and Clark Hall. In the future, Lidl, the Purple Line and the Iribe Center will open there as well, he said.

“These are customers that are going to support retail, and they’re going to contribute to our local community,” Olson said.

While traditional student housing — such as the University View and The Varsity — usually charges by the bed, Alloy by Alta will be a market-rate project that charges by the room, Zimmerly said. The developers have an agreement with the city to ensure this, College Park Mayor Patrick Wojahn said.

Wojahn said the city is “enthusiastic” about the possibility of more non-student housing coming to College Park. Most of the housing built in College Park in the past 15 years has been student-oriented, he said, and now the focus is shifting to

“The group worked from sunup to almost midnight every day, so it’s not a spring break most students have of lounging around,” said R. David Myers, the organization’s adviser and an instructor at this university. “It was a real team work effort and went flawlessly.”

When the group visited each village, the students — from both this university and LICC — taught local farmers about record-keeping, pest management and long-term marketing investment, among other concepts related to agriculture.

“Homemade fertilizer is more sustainable for the environment than buying fertilizer and pesticides that they can’t even afford anyways, so one thing we did is we taught them this alternative option to better grow their crops and control diseases,” Glenn said.

Myers also taught local farmers about soil health. At each village, he went to the fields of the farmers and tested the soil right there for

Through the LICC partnership, the organization also donated a few soil nutrient kits to the college that the farmers can use to continually test their soil.

“We’re just finishing up our grant review process and we have something in the neighborhood of $400,000 worth of requests,” he said.

“That is the most we’ve ever had for this heritage area, and it does include a grant request from this city that I can’t say too much about, but I wouldn’t worry too much.”

Cynthia Nixon is not Miranda Hobbes. Cynthia Nixon played Miranda Hobbes on the beloved HBO series Sex and the City, but that does not mean she shares all of the same qualities as her character or behaves in the same ways. Apparently, that’s how acting works.

That being said, I am about to directly relate Cynthia Nixon’s real life to her fictional on-screen persona.

On March 19, Nixon announced she would be running for governor of New York. With this in mind, here is what I think would happen if Miranda Hobbes ran for governor on Sex and the City. If you are not familiar with the late ’90s/early 2000s hit show, please go watch all six seasons as well as the first spinoff movie (you don’t have to

BACK IN FOCUS Terps put defensive struggles in rearview mirror with win vs. Michigan

By Lila Bromberg | @lilabbromberg | Staff writer

T

hough the Maryland women’s lacrosse team returned significant experience on its defensive unit this season, it lost National Defender of the Year Nadine Hadnagy and needed time to mesh as a group, coach Cathy Reese said.

Early on, that showed. The Terps allowed 11.67 goals per game in the first six games, holding just one of those opponents to fewer than 10 goals.

But the Terps have jelled since then, holding opposing offenses to singledigit goals in four of their past five games, including a 16-9 win at Michigan on Saturday.

“We’re really starting to get in a groove here,” Reese said. “We’re learning each other’s tendencies and what our strengths are, and when we can put all those pieces

together, we become very successful.”

Maryland has allowed an average of 7.6 goals in its past five games. Its low point was a 15-12 win over then-No. 3 James Madison on March 24.

Defender Lizzie Colson said the team focuses on communicating with each other, talking through picks, working on one-on-one defense and filling in on slides.

Maryland has also continued to improve in the draw control circle and on limiting turnovers, which has allowed the defense to stay more organized.

“I think in earlier games we were kind of careless with the ball, we were just kind of going through the motions,” Colson said. “Now we’re really focused on executing every play and focusing

on the turnovers and limiting those so we have more opportunities for our offense and less opportunities to obviously get scored on.”

Reese said Colson and defender Kathy Rudkin have impressed her as of late.

Colson played in 20 games last season but started just three, while Rudkin is in her first year at Maryland after being a stalwart in Syracuse’s defense.

Colson has 38 draw controls, 25 ground balls and 15 caused turnovers this season.

She earned seven draw controls, two ground balls and two caused turnovers against Michigan.

Rudkin’s contributions are less obvious on the stat sheet, but Reese said she’s displayed standout one-on-one defending.

Reese also gave credit to assistant coach Lauri Kenis for putting together effective

strategies entering each game.

“Defense is really about executing our game plan,” Reese said. “Our coaching staff puts a lot of time … preparing our defense, what we’re going to see from teams’ offenses.”

Maryland’s recent improvement has brought its defensive ranking up to No. 20 in the nation, at 9.9 goals per game overall. Though it lags far behind its second-ranked offense, the Terps are happy with the strides their defense has made and where it can go in the future.

“Overall our defense is steadily improving, and that’s what we want with a team like this,” attacker Megan Whittle said.

“Our defense has been playing really well and I’m proud of the way that everyone’s showing up and bringing everything.” lbrombergdbk@gmail.com

WILDCATS From p. 12 a row. Biondic broke through with his third homer of the season, plating right fielder Marty Costes to establish a one-run lead.

“We know we can depend on him in tough situations,” catcher Justin Morris said.

“He’s come in a lot into pressure situations, off the mound as well, and has really helped shut the door.”

Closer John Murphy allowed a single, hit a batter and walked another as his season-long control issues pervaded into the ninth inning Sunday. So Vaughn turned to Biondic, who had supplied

two scoreless innings Saturday. Biondic forced Lind to line out to left to survive the bases-loaded jam.

During Biondic’s postga m e p re s s c o n fe re n c e , members of his family walked by on the field waving his cardboard face around. Again, Biondic laughed, comfortable with his family’s antics after

he led the Terps to a rubbermatch victory. “ We ’ v e a l w a y s b e e n his biggest fans,” said his m o t h e r, M a r y B i o n d i c .

“Kevin loves playing first base, being put as a pitcher.

You know, he really thrives on that pressure.” akostkadbk@gmail.com

“We know we can depend on [Biondic] in tough situations.”

in the final minute against Villanova, Tillman said he organized situational drills to help the Terps improve their play late in games.

moore to come Former Terps wide receiver DJ Moore readies for promising NFL career

By Daniel Bernstein | @danbernsteinUMD | Senior staff writer

I

t wasn’t surprising when the Carolina Panthers pulled former Maryland football wide receiver DJ Moore to the side of his Pro Day workout on Wednesday and asked him to run additional routes.

Moore was the main attraction at the showcase. With the 2018 NFL Draft about a month away, he’s already met with more than 20 teams and, after finishing up with the Panthers, he greeted a mass of reporters and cameras.

The mild-mannered Philadelphia native, whom many experts consider a first-round pick, is still getting used to the wave of attention. With fans of NFL teams bombarding him with Twitter messages and front-office executives testing his resolve with bizarre interview techniques, he feels his laid-back personality has helped him manage pressure and make a positive impression on evaluators.

“Some of [the interviews] was funny, some of them was serious, but for the most part I made them funny,” Moore said. “They tried to get

One team asked Moore if he would rather be a cat or a dog. Another showed him film of on-field mistakes he made with Maryland to see how he would react. Others gave him one minute to memorize plays.

Once, an interviewer asked him to recite the alphabet and count at the same time.

“I didn’t too well on that,” Moore said with a smile.

In his final season with Maryland, Moore led the Big Ten in receptions

so that’s helping us translate that onto the field.”

Iowa threatened to tie the game in the seventh. With two outs, designated player Taylor Libby smoked a double into the gap in right-center field. But Golden induced

a groundout from the next batter to end the game.

(80) and receiving yards (1,033). He finished his career with a catch in 33 consecutive games.

His success came in part from his relentless drive in practice, which former Terps defensive back and fellow draft hopeful J.C. Jackson said helped him grow as a player.

As Maryland’s top cornerback last year, Jackson often defended Moore in training.

“He made me who I am today,” Jackson said. “We made each other

better. Every day in practice, DJ and I we were going at it. I would call him out and he would call me out and we would compete.”

Moore hopes to show that dedication to scouts when he visits teams for private workouts in the coming weeks and build on the success he believes he’s had during interviews.

While he’s unsure where he’ll be picked in the draft next month, the All-Big Ten First Team honoree is excited by the buzz he’s generated since announcing he’d forgo his senior year in College Park to play in the NFL. But Moore is trying not to let the positive momentum affect the way he carries himself, or alter the training dedication that helped him reach this point.

“On the inside it feels great,” Moore said, “but on the outside you still have to be humble and continue to work hard on and off the field just to get better at your craft.” dbernsteindbk@gmail.com

in key moments. Both of the pitchers’ duels moved at a lightning-quick pace, with each game getting to the sixth inning in under an hour.

The win sealed the Terps’ first series sweep since April 2015 against Penn State. Maryland’s

five-game win streak ties its longest since joining the Big Ten. “We’re playing with high energy and using the little intangibles that add up to a really good team,” Wright said. bfischerdbk@gmail.com

“We just need to have energy and back up our pitchers. ... We’ve been having really intense, pressured practices so that’s helping us translate that onto the field.”

FINISHING STRONG

Terps buck trend with strong fourth quarter against Wolverines

By Scott Gelman | @Gelman_Scott | Senior staff writer

W

ith about two minutes remaining in the No. 2 Maryland men’s lacrosse team’s win against No. 15 Michigan on Saturday, midfielder Bubba Fairman drove toward the net with Michigan midfielder PJ Bogle and goalkeeper Tommy Heidt between him and scoring.

Fairman had already posted consecutive scores, but remained aggressive, sneaking the ball past Bogle and Heidt for his hat trick, a bounceback performance after not scoring in the team’s win over North Carolina last weekend.

He jogged to the end of the field and pumped his right fist into the air in celebration. The goal helped the Terps end

the game on a 7-0 run and win the fourth quarter, 5-0, their most complete final period in more than a month.

“We talked a lot even this week about where we are,” coach John Tillman said.

“Bubba’s been quiet for a while. Last week, he was close to home. There was a lot of emotion. We talked about getting that back to center.”

Tillman’s team had been outscored in the final quarter of every game since its 13-6 win against Penn on Feb. 21. Fourthquarter struggles led to the team’s only loss, when No. 1 Albany scored five unanswered goals in the final frame to win, 11-10.

Though it didn’t cost Maryland a

win, the trend continued in the next two contests. Villanova scored three times in the final minute to come within two goals, outscoring the Terps, 5-2, in the fourth. The Tar Heels boasted a 3-2 scoring advantage in the final quarter last week. But the skid ended against the Wolverines.

Fairman scored his second goal about two minutes into a fourth quarter that Maryland dominated. Even faceoff specialist Austin Henningsen, called upon to relieve Justin Shockey, scored in the game’s final minutes, just his second goal of the season.

Maryland capitalized on Michigan’s six turnovers in the fourth quarter as

midfielder Connor Kelly orchestrated the team’s attack.

“In the second half, when he dodged, he kept throwing it back and got [his teammates] really good looks,” Tillman said of Kelly, who didn’t score but recorded two assists. “He’s such a good leader and team guy. It really helped us out.”

With Maryland’s attack firing on all cylinders, defensemen Bryce Young and Curtis Corley helped contain Michigan’s offense. The Wolverines’ leading scorer, attackman Brent Noseworthy, recorded two goals, one of which came in the See WOLVERINES, p. 9

Biondic does it all in 4-3 defeat of Wildcats Senior clubs go-ahead two-run homer in eighth inning, secures save in top of ninth After Maryland baseball Andy Kostka first baseman @afkostka and relief pitcher Staff writer Kevin Biondic hit the go-ahead home run half an inning earlier, he took the mound with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning.

Throughout the weekend series a ga i n s t No r t hwe s te r n , B i o n d i c ’s family — visiting from out of state — cheered him on, sometimes shouting his name mid-game. But when he toed the rubber with the game on the line on Sunday, they appeared tense.

Wildcats designated hitter Connor Lind smoked Biondic’s first pitch on a line to left field, but Will Watson charged and slid to make the seriesclinching catch, securing a 4-3 win.

Lind slammed his helmet into the dirt.

Biondic was mobbed at the mound by his teammates.

His family in the stands broke out their cardboard cutouts of his face, resuming their energetic display.

“Anything to mortally humiliate the guy, that’s our goal,” said Biondic’s aunt, Finola.

“I don’t think they care if I struck out 10 times this weekend, or if I hit five home runs,” Biondic said. “They’re going to heckle me, no matter what. It was some good heckling today.”

Ellazar, Golden power Terps to 1-0 win over Hawkeyes Sweep marks Maryland’s second straight series win, continuing program’s best Big Ten start With two outs in the fourth Ben Fischer inning on Sunday, @thebiggestfisch Maryland infielder Staff writer Skylynne Ellazar finally got to Iowa starter Allison Doocy, hitting a solo home run over the scoreboard in right-center field. It was just the second hit Doocy allowed and the only run in the Terps’ 1-0 win over the Hawkeyes.

“Today was just about making adjustments to her,” Ellazar said. “We knew we were going to see her in game three so I went home, watched some film and tried to make adjustments to her.”

Behind an improved defensive effort, Maryland starter Sydney Golden outby

dueled Doocy. Her complete game shutout included three strikeouts and no walks.

“She just wears teams out,” coach Julie Wright said. “She uses her defense really well and I’m very proud of her.

She’s got a great even demeanor out there.”

In the second inning, Iowa loaded the bases with one out. Golden escaped the jam by forcing a 5-2-3 double play on a chopper to infielder Brigette Nordberg at third.

“We started off rough defensively this season,” Wright said. “We’ve been working hard on fundamentals and positioning ourselves better.”

contest full of narrow escapes for the Terps (14-14, 2-1 Big Ten).

With two outs in the seventh inning, coach Rob Vaughn started walking to the mound, seemingly prepared to pull starter Hunter Parsons. But he stopped, turned around and watched on from the dugout as Parsons got Northwestern (8-14, 1-5) catcher Jack Claeys, who hit two homers on Saturday, to fly out with a runner on third.

Va u g h n a l so co u l d h ave p u l l e d Parsons after his three-run third inning, or when he loaded the bases in the fourth. Instead, he stuck with a pitcher sporting a 0.84 ERA and 23 strikeouts in his past four starts before Sunday’s game. Parsons rebounded from early trouble to give the Terps seven innings for the fifth straight outing.

“To me, [Parsons] has earned the right to get himself out of a game,” Vaughn said. “The way he’s competed, the toughness he’s pitched through, like, that was his game.”

The Terps lineup pounced on starter Jack Pagliarini early. Second baseman Nick Dunn took Pagliarini’s first pitch deep for a home run, and shortstop AJ Lee supplied an RBI single to grab a first-inning edge.

Pagliarini settled in, though, at one point retiring 15 Maryland batters in See wildcats, p. 9
