TEAMMATES ONCE AGAIN

Rodney Wallace and Jeremy Hall, two former Terp standouts on the 2008 national championship squad, will be reunited as members of the MLS expansion Portland Timbers next season.  Wallace travels to the West Coast after spending two seasons at DC United while Hall competed with New York Red Bull since being drafted by the club following his junior season at Maryland.

It was also recently announced that Hall landed on Major League Soccer's 19-man Generation adidas roster and will travel to Madrid for 10 days of training and competitive matches.  Click here for a video diary of Hall's first day in Madrid.

If you haven't already done so, please make sure you get your tickets to Saturday's NCAA quarterfinal match with No. 10 Michigan!  It's time to pack Ludwig and help send the boys to Santa Barbara!
