COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland plays three games this week as it travels to play James Madison (Tuesday, Oct. 6) and plays host to Virginia (Friday, Oct. 9) and Connecticut (Sunday, Oct., 11). The three-game stretch is an important one for the Terps as JMU and Virginia are Mid-Atlantic regional opponents and Connecticut is among the Terps' top non-regional nationally ranked opponents this season. Maryland's home games against Virginia and Connecticut mark the first two of four consecutive home games.

Senior forward Emmy Harbo (Baton Rouge, La./The Runnels School) became the second player in Maryland history and the ninth player in Atlantic Coast Conference history to score 50 career goals as she reached the milestone against Florida. Harbo scored two goals against the Gators and has 51 for her career.

3. Son of a Son of a Sailor
4. Pirate Looks at 40
