COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The Maryland men's lacrosse program signed a multiyear partnership with Maverik Lacrosse as the team's official equipment provider, as announced by head coach John Tillman today.

Maverik will be the official supplier of Maryland's EKG shoulder chest/protection pads, gloves, head, handles and arm pads.

"When it came to looking at a partner for equipment, it didn't take long to narrow that list down to Maverik Lacrosse," said head coach John Tillman. "Maverik has an outstanding reputation for making a product that is safe and of the highest quality, and their research and development does a tremendous job to create the best equipment out there. Their staff provides first class customer service and is as dependable as they come. Maverik's commitment to excellence aligns with our program's values to Be the Best in everything we do, and I could not be more excited for this partnership."  

Maryland moves to Maverik after Under Armour halted production of lacrosse equipment this past summer.
