19+ hour, 19+ min ago (553+ words) It was a close one that had Maryland fans on the edge of their seats. Still, the Maryland Terrapins men's soccer team defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels in a penalty kick shootout, 4-3, after tying 1-1 in regulation of the second round of the NCAA Tournament at Ludwig Field on Sunday afternoon. The first half started slowly for the Terps, who didn't have long, sustained possessions on the attack, and were a little sloppy with passes. Part of the reason could've been the time off since the Terps last played, and the absence of sophomore defender Jace Clark, who injured his leg against UCLA in the Big Ten Tournament. Sadam Masereka took the first shot of the game for the Terps in the third minute, sending a shot just wide of the low-left side of the net from outside the box....

3+ day, 7+ hour ago (374+ words) Only two hours remain until the Florida State Seminoles kick off their 11th game of the 2025 season. The Seminoles are on the road in Carter-Finley Stadium, a building that has provided them with plenty of horrors over the years. Florida State has lost five of its last seven games on the road against North Carolina State. The Wolfpack would love to keep that underdog trend going on Friday night. Florida State and NC State will kick off at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN. Earlier this week, Florida State announced DB Ja'Bril Rawls, DL Deamontae Diggs, DB Quindarrius Jones, DB Ricky Knight III, LB Caleb LaVallee, LB Ethan Pritchard, and DB Donny Hiebert would miss the game.

1+ week, 18+ hour ago (478+ words) The Florida State Seminoles won their second conference game of the 2025 season, downing Virginia Tech 34-14 in Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday. With five wins under their belt and two regular-season games remaining, both on the road, the task is simple for the Seminoles; find a way to end their struggles away from home. Florida State is 5-2 in Tallahassee this fall, but 0-3 on the road, including a dismal loss to Stanford. The Seminoles haven't won a true road game since defeating Florida 24-15 on November 25, 2023.

The next road challenge will be in a building that has given Florida State plenty of horrors over the years. The Seminoles will travel to…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago (307+ words) The 2027 recruiting class for South Carolina is beginning to take shape as Shane Beamer and company lands in another recruit's list of top schools. Following a spot in the top ten of Joshua Sam-Epelle earlier this week, the Gamecocks now find themselves in the mix for another top recruit in the 2027 class by the way of edge rusher Rashad Streets. Streets has the South Carolina Gamecocks in his top 12 along with Georgia, Ohio State, Tennessee, Florida State, Alabama, Clemson, Oregon, NC State, Michigan, Nebraska, and Texas. The 6-foot-4 and 230 pound edge from Millbrook High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a top 100 player in the 247Sports composite rankings.

1+ week, 4+ day ago (315+ words) The Carolina Panthers drafted pretty well. Tetairoa McMillan is a stud. Trevor Etienne has solidified himself as the go-to return man, and he's done a solid job. Nic Scourton is by far the best edge rusher on the roster. Mitchell Evans has been surprisingly solid, and Jimmy Horn Jr. has made some big plays. That's more than enough to solidify what we all thought after the draft, which was that GM Dan Morgan had kind of aced it in his second draft. But there have been some duds, namely one pick that was supposed to be a good player, according to one analyst. When the Carolina Panthers got Nic Scourton and then Princely Umanmielen in the second and third rounds of the draft, it was easy to feel good about the future of the pass rush. Those were two highly-touted…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago (343+ words) North Carolina routed Kansas to an 87-74 win in the Dean Dome in front of Tar Heel fans suited up in white, after freshman Caleb Wilson's influence to make it all happen. UNC's three-point shooting during the first half was not much of a factor, and its turnovers did not help either, finding itself down eight going into halftime. But out of the locker room, head coach Hubert Davis and his staff watched their team fire on all cylinders going scoring 58 points in the second half, to go with 17 rebounds and 11 assists. The Tar Heels also had six steals. UNC shot 66.7 (24-36) percent from the field, 41.7 (5-12) percent from the three-point line, and converted 55.6 (5-9) percent from the free throw line. The efforts of Seth Trimble, Henri Veesaar, and Caleb Wilson boosted North Carolina's chances of winning against the No. 19 team in the country....

2+ week, 3+ day ago (389+ words) CHAPEL HILL, N.C. " North Carolina freshman Caleb Wilson was a man on a mission Friday night." It doesn't seem like it takes much to rev up the 19-year-old forward, an energizer bunny on and off the court in a locker room filled otherwise with veterans. But in case he needed any extra motivation before playing his first marquee game as a Tar Heel, he used his phone lock screen as a reminder." "He could run for student body president and he'd win, and he's been here three months," North Carolina coach Hubert Davis said. "It's the best crowd in the world," Wilson said. "Best place to be in the world. So I'm not going to be out there pouting and act like I'm too cool. Every time something good or something big happens, I'm definitely going to be excited." North Carolina's…...

Below the video is a partial transcript from Henri Veesaar's media availability after the Central Arkansas game. Yeah, as long as you throw it and you have some momentum, it's pretty easy to catch with. Like, I'm saying, you can always I had couple practice where I was like "oh, that's gonna be out of bounds, turnover." And then he just goes and gets it, and you're like, Well, that makes me look great. I feel like offensive rebounds, it's just the effort and kind of going on the weak side, kind of anticipating where the ball might go, like, if you see and it looks short, it's probably going to bounce back. If it seems kind…...
