Terrapin great Kristi Toliver was named the WNBA's Western Player of the Week Monday for her performance in the Los Angeles Sparks' three wins on the week. This is Toliver's first Player of the Week honor in her four years in the league.

It's rare for a football team to be as stocked at tight end as Maryland finds itself entering the 2012 season.

Maryland volleyball fans, we are only four days away from the season opener against Villanova. With that in mind, we continue the Fresh Faces series this week with Emily Fraik. Fraik was a 2012 OHSVCA Division II All-Ohio First Team member and was named to the 2011-12 Under Armour Honorable Mention All-America team.

Mackenzie Dagostino is the latest Terp to join the Fresh Faces seriest. Dagostino was named to the 2011-12 Under Armour All-America second team and recipient of the prestigious Andi Collins award, which is given to the nation's top prep senior setter. The Tampa, Fla., native led Berkeley Prep to the Florida state championship the past three seasons.

That record stood until Valmon, Watts, Johnson  and Butch Reynolds broke it with a time of 2:54.29 at the1993 World Championships in Stuttgurt, Germany. That record still stands.
