SPOKANE, Wash.- It’s possible Greivis Vasquez could play his last game as a Terp on Friday. If not Friday, then it could be Sunday…or the next Friday. No matter what it’s going to be sometime in the next three weeks.

So it seems a worthwhile exercise to quickly track where Vasquez, who has gained notoriety for being the first ACC player to record more than 2,000 points, 700 assists and 600 rebounds, ranks in some categories on the all-time Terp list–and where he could be realistically headed.

Points: Vasquez has been on the climb on this list throughout the season. And with 20 points down the stretch, he can catch Len Bias for No. 2 behind Juan Dixon. At times this season, it seemed somewhat possible for him to catch Dixon. Now, he sits 140 points back with max six games left. Dixon created that distance with a National Championship run in his senior season, but it’s pretty clear that Vasquez is going to have to settle for second here. That early exit in the ACC Tournament cemented that, and he’s going to need a big game against Houston and/or at least one win to make sure he can pass Bias.

By the looks of the score, one would think that the Terps have control of their game against No. 7 Georgetown, up three goals at the break. But that’s not the case.

After Kendra Knight came within two outs of a no-hitter against Princeton on March 5, Coach Laura Watten said Knight was not “meant” to throw a no-hitter yet.

Knight must have been “meant” to do it fewer than two weeks later. Today, Knight threw a no-no against Columbia on the way to a 9-1 Terps’ victory.

The game didn’t look like it would be one to remember for Knight after the first inning.

Knight walked the first batter of the game, and an error allowed the next batter to reach base as well. After two strikeouts, a wild pitch allowed a run to score and put the Terps in a 1-0 hole. Knight would get out of the jam though, striking out the side.

After that first inning, Knight didn’t think she had a shot at the no-no.

“Honestly, no. I didn’t at all. I wasn’t really feeling that great,” Knight said. “I knew we were gonna win, but I didn’t think I was gonna throw a no-hitter.”

The Terrapin women’s lacrosse team will look to keep its undefeated season alive at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex against the No. 7 Georgetown Hoyas (2-2) tonight.

The No. 2 Terps (6-0) defeated No. 15 New Hampshire on Saturday in their most dominating offensive performance of the season and will look to continue that against the Big East’s Hoyas. Last year, the Terps engaged in a tight battle with Georgetown, ending with a 14-12 Terps win.

Despite the rain, the Terps came out flying against the Wildcats this past weekend. By halftime the Terps had 28 shots to go along with their 12 goals. On defense, the team held New Hampshire to nine shots and forced 16 turnovers in the first half. In the end, the Terps trampled the Wildcats, 20-6. It was the most goals (20) and shots (49) the Terps have had in a game all season.

The Terrapin softball team was excited to start ACC play last Saturday, but rain forced them to wait one more day for its series against Virginia at Robert E. Taylor Stadium.

After getting swept in the doubleheader on Sunday, they probably wish the whole weekend had been rained out completely.

The Terps lost by scores of 5-3 and 3-1, dropping its record to 10-9 on the year and 0-2 in the ACC.
