    COLLEGE PARK, Md. - After a week off, Maryland is back in action this weekend when it travels to Troy, N.Y., to play three games, including a pair of CWPA Western Division contests against nationally-ranked opponents.

    The 14th-ranked Terps (5-3) will kick off the weekend by playing Brown (5-1) at 10:15 a.m. Saturday at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Robison Pool. The Bears have won their last four contests.

    Maryland will then face No. 16 Hartwick College (9-3), which is playing host to the games at RPI, at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. It marks the first CWPA Western Division game of the year for both teams.

    The Hawks have won their last six games and are 2-3 against top-20 competition this season.

    Sunday features a rematch with 11th-ranked Indiana (8-3) which posted an 11-10 come-from-behind win over the Terps in the fifth place game of the Triton Invitational on Feb. 12 despite a career-high five goals from Simone Lewis.

    The Hoosiers and Terrapins, who are 3-3 against top-20 teams, will face off at 10 a.m. in a divisional game (the Feb. 12 meeting between the teams did not count in the division standings).

    Junior Allison Campbell and sophomore Katie Ermakova have been the main scoring threats for the Terrapins this season. Campbell has a team-best 15 goals, while Ermakova has 14. Lewis is third with 10.

    Freshman Zoe Respondek has been the main table setter with a team-high 18 assists.

    Campbell also leads the team with 15 steals.

    Senior captain Shelby Reyes is team's No. 1 goaltender. Reyes has started five games this season and has a team-high .549 block percentage.
