The Terrapin is the mascot for the University of Maryland at College Park athletic department. Regularly referred to as the Terps, Maryland sponsors 27 Division I varsity sports. The Terrapins mascot is Testudo the Turtle. The school colors are red, black, gold and white the same colors as the Maryland state flag. Maryland's athletic director is Dr. Deborah Yow, a former women's college basketball coach at Kentucky and Florida. Some of the more recognizable faces in the Terrapins athletic department are head football coach and Maryland alumnus Ralph Friedgen, men's basketball coach Gary Williams (also an alum) and women's basketball coach Brenda Frese. Friedgen graduated from Maryland in 1970, worked as an assistant football coach for several years in the 1980s, and has been head coach since 2001. The Terrapins football team plays at Chevy Chase Bank Field at Byrd Stadium. Williams coached the Terrapins to the 2002 national championship, a team on the floor by players by Juan Dixon, Steve Blake, Lonny Baxter and Chris Wilcox. A 1968 Maryland graduate, Williams, like Friedgen, quickly turned around a losing program, putting together a streak of 11 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances from 1994-2004. Frese coached the Terrapins women's basketball team to the 2006 national championship. Both Terps basketball programs play their games at the Comcast Center, which was completed in 2002. Other traditionally strong Terrapins athletic teams are women's field hockey (five-time NCAA champions), men's lacrosse (two-time NCAA champions), women's lacrosse (nine-time NCAA champions) and men's soccer (two-time NCAA champions). While the Terps lack a true rival across all sports, several individual programs have developed rivalries over the years. Duke is considered Maryland's primary men's basketball rival, while Johns Hopkins has taken that role in men's lacrosse. West Virginia and Virginia are most frequently mentioned as football rivals, for geographic reasons as much as anything else.  « Show less
