What a weekend! There were extraordinary ups and downs in games, in emotion and even with the weather.

We'll get to everything from the Terps' amazing run to their first ACC title since 2005 and the team's emotional trip to Long Island on Monday.

On Saturday the Terps lost a game. On Sunday we lost a member of our family.

I'll get into the game vs. Johns Hopkins, but in reality there are more important things to start with this week. We will also give you a peek inside the Lacrosse Reunion and preview this weekend's ACC tournament.

There doesn't need to be any long build up. It's really that simple - it's Hopkins Week!

We'll get into some of the history of the Maryland-Hopkins series and look at this year's match-up. We'll also take a quick peek back at the Navy game and catch everyone up on the ACC tournament seeding scenarios.

Things look a lot better for the Terps as they enter the third week of "The Stretch" than they did going into week two. It's funny how that happens after a big win.

This week's edition of the Maryland Men's Lacrosse Blog is going to touch on a number of different topics, including a Navy preview with a remembrance of a fallen hero, a quick review of the Virginia game, a big event coming to College Park on April 16, how John Haus stacks up to former Maryland All-America middies and a reminder about the importance of purple.
