THIS WEEK'S STORYLINES

The Matchup

Maryland travels to face the defending national champion Ole Miss Rebels for a three-game weekend series from Feb. 24-26 in Oxford, Mississippi.
This is the first time in program history that the Terps have played a defending national champion.
The Terps come into Oxford off an 8-6 loss to Big 12 opponent West Virginia in their home opener on Tuesday. Nick Lorusso and Luke Shliger both went 3-of-5 at the plate but it wasn't enough to power the Terps to victory.
The Terps opened 2023 with a series victory over South Florida in Tampa. The weekend was highlighted by three consecutive games with a grand slam for Maryland.
Maryland comes into 2023 fresh off winning its first-ever Big Ten Championship in 2022 and first conference title in more than a half-century since the Terps won the ACC in 1971. Overall, it was Maryland's fifth conference crown.
The Terps return 15 players from last year's squad including six All-Big Ten honorees (Jason Savacool, Nick Lorusso, Matt Shaw, Kevin Keister, Luke Shliger, and Nick Dean).
Ole Miss sits with a 4-0 record to start the season after sweeping their opening series against Delaware and defeating Arkansas state 11-3 on Tuesday.
The Rebels are currently led by second baseman Peyton Chatagnier and catcher Kemp Alderman who sit a top of the roster with seven hits and two home runs a piece through their first four games.

Popular in the preseason

Maryland enters the 2023 season as a consensus top-25 program and the No. 13 team in the country according to D1Baseball.
Three Terps, Jason Savacool, Matt Shaw and Luke Shliger each earned preseason All American honors. The trio received recognition from D1Baseball, Perfect Game and Collegiate Baseball News. Shaw was also named a preseason All-American by Baseball America.
Juniors Luke Shliger (No. 1), Matt Shaw (No. 3) and Jason Savacool (No. 10) were each ranked in the Top-10 for their position by D1Baseball heading into the 2023 campaign.
Maryland welcomes incoming transfers Matt Woods (Bryant), Elijah Lambros (South Carolina), Tommy Kane (Rowan), Eddie Hacopian (Cypress College) and Nate Haberthier (Ohio State), who all figure to make an immediate impact in College Park this season.

Meet the Coaches

Sixth-year Head Coach Rob Vaughn returns as skipper after last season's Big Ten Championship and receiving conference Coach of the Year honors. Vaughn is a career 141-96 (.595) as the Head Coach of the Terps.
Matt Swope and Anthony Papio return to the bench this year for Maryland, they bring a wealth of experience to the dugout as both Terrapin baseball alumni and veteran coaches on staff.
Mike Morrison returns as assistant for his second season with the Terps. Morrison joined the staff from Coastal Carolina, where won a national championship as a player in 2016 and spent two years as Director of Player Development and Scouting of the Chanticleers, as well as interim pitching coach.
Former Maryland baseball player Tommy Gardiner is back with the staff and serves as Director of Player Development after spending the four seasons playing under Vaughn, Swope, and Papio.
