Maryland has released its 2013 men's lacrosse schedule, which features eight games against teams that made the 2012 NCAA tournament and seven home games.
"Once again, our schedule is challenging from start to finish," said coach John Tillman, who is entering his third season after leading the Terps to the national title game the past two seasons. "We consistently have one of the nation's toughest schedules, and this season could be our most challenging, playing some of the best teams and best players in the nation each and every week."
The Terps are coming off a 12-6 campaign in which they lost to Loyola, 9-3, in the championship game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
After two preseason scrimmages, the 2013 schedule begins with a Tuesday evening home game vs. Mount St. Mary's on Feb. 12. Maryland then hits the road for its first-ever trip to Hartford on Feb. 16.
The following weekend finds Maryland traveling to Baltimore to take on Loyola on Feb. 23. The Terps play their third straight road game on March 2 when they head to Durham, N.C., to play at Atlantic Coast Conference foe Duke at 11 a.m. The team then has a quick turnaround with another weekday home game on March 6 vs. UMBC.
Maryland hosts its first weekend home game March 10 when defending America East champion Stony Brook visits Byrd Stadium. The Terps conclude their ACC schedule with back-to-back games with North Carolina and Virginia. Maryland hosts the Tar Heels on March 23, before heading to Charlottesville, Va., to play the Cavaliers on March 30.
Maryland plays at Navy in a Friday night game on April 5.
One of the sport's biggest rivalries is renewed April 13 when the Terps host Johns Hopkins at 3 p.m. The 109th meeting between Maryland and Blue Jays highlights Alumni Reunion Weekend, which will feature a number of events for Maryland men's lacrosse alums.
The Terps welcome Yale back to College Park for the first time since 2008 on April 20 before traveling to Chapel Hill, N.C., for the ACC tournament on April 26 and 28.
The Terps wrap up the home schedule with Senior Day vs. Colgate on May 4.
