On Shultz: One of Maryland's three seniors who will be a team leader this season... Is among the hardest working players, both in practice and games. ..Is a strong defender and very effective rebounder... Ready to perform in whatever situation the coaches place him in during a game.
As a Junior: Maryland's emotional leader, he appeared in 19 games. ..Averaged nearly one point and one rebound per game... Biggest play of his career came in the season opener versus Georgetown as he stepped in front of a Georgetown pass and was credited with a steal with 19 seconds remaining in overtime and the Terps down by one. ..His steal set up Duane Simpkins' game winning basket with three seconds remaining in overtime giving Maryland the heart stopping overtime victory over the No. 15 ranked Hoyas...

Scored three points and grabbed two rebounds as Maryland defeated UNC Greensboro in Cole Field House. ..
