Mariners roll through New Jersey, still undefeated

After three straight home games and a bye week, the Baltimore Mariners hit the road to square off against the New Jersey Revolution. The game was a tale of two halves, as the Revolution kept the game within reach after 2 quarters of play, but were put to rest by the strong Mariners defense in the second half. “We’ve definitely been spoiled,” running back Isiah Grier told me in response to Baltimore’s three straight home games followed by a bye week.

Cinderella decided to stick around for one more game this season. The Butler Bulldogs, in the midst of doing the almost impossible as it is, defeated the Michigan State Spartans 52-50 in what was a very tight, defensive game. Butler took advantage of 18 Spartan turnovers, foul trouble for Draymond Green and the absence of Kalin Lucas, who was injured in the Maryland game. The Bulldogs also had to cope with the loss of Shelvin Mack in the second half. . . . → Read More: Butler, Duke to meet in Championship

Mariners edge Raiders 49-45, remain undefeated

It may not have been as pretty as the previous three, but the Baltimore Mariners got the job done against the Richmond Raiders on Sunday evening at the 1st Mariner Arena. After cruising through the Fayetteville Guard, Baltimore came up against a solid defense from Richmond that continually pressured quarterback E.J. Nemeth and defended Mariner wide receivers up and down the arena. “We’ll continue to fine tune our pass protection,” Head Coach Chris Simpson said. “Our receivers have got to be a little bit more physical in their routes, I think they got pushed around a little bit.” Full video highlights after the bump… . . . → Read More: Mariners edge Raiders 49-45, remain undefeated

Spartans defeat Terps at the buzzer 85-83

The fourth-seeded Maryland Terrapins used a furious comeback to go ahead of Michigan State 83-82 with just six seconds to go.

This game wasn’t Maryland’s best, as they struggled to rebound the ball and stop Michigan State from making three point baskets.

Matusz shines against NL Champs

I’m still hoping that my worry about the Orioles is premature. Thankfully, Brian Matusz made me breathe a little bit easier with his performance against the Philadelphia Phillies in his second consecutive solid Grape Fruit League outing.

Mariners pound Revolution in home opener

After a win on the road in Harrisburg, the Baltimore Mariners hosted the New Jersey Revolution in their 2010 home opener on Sunday. Baltimore put a beating on the American Indoor Football Association’s newest team, scoring 51 of their 68 points in the first half. The Mariners jumped out to an early 7-0 lead when quarterback E.J. Nemeth threw a 35 yard touchdown shot to wide receiver Scorpio Brown. Just moments later, Baltimore tacked on another 6 on defense when defensive back Armar Watson returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown.

Terps Can’t Dig Out of Hole, Fall to Ga-Tech

It was a tale of two halves, unfortunately for the Maryland Terrapins the tale of the 1st half outweighed the 2nd in their 69-64 loss to Georgia Tech in the quarterfinal of the 2010 ACC Tournament.  Georgia Tech ran out to a 16 point half-time lead as they punished the Terps both inside and out.  . . . → Read More: Terps Can’t Dig Out of Hole, Fall to Ga-Tech

Maryland upends Duke 79-72

In a game that predictably down to the wire, No. 22 Maryland finally got over the hump and defeated No. 4 Duke 79-72 on Senior Night in College Park. When the game started, there was the feeling that Greivis Vasquez wouldn’t let the Terrapins lose on the last home game of his college career. Not only was it Vasquez’s last game, but also fellow guard Eric Hayes and forward Landon Milbourne’s home finale. Vasquez and the Maryland offense got off to a fast start and built up a 14 point lead. . . . → Read More: Maryland upends Duke 79-72
