>>O's Name New P.A. Announcer
(Baltimore, MD) -- The O's have found the new voice of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The club announced yesterday that 26-year-old Ryan Wagner is the team's new public-address annoucer. Wagner spent last season as one of two people that watched 2,429 games in the MLB Fan Cave in New York. He grew up in Baltimore and is a long-time Orioles fan. Wagner replaces Dave McGowan, who stepped down from the position in December. McGowan had been the P.A. man for the Birds since replacing the legendary Rex Barney following his death in 1997.
>>Terps Weather Hurricanes
(College Park, MD) -- Maryland battled its way to a 75-70 win over Miami last night at Comcast Center. The Terps closed the game on a 14-4 run to improve to 6-and-7 in the ACC. Terrell Stoglin led the way with 20 points and was helped by 16 from James Padgett and 15 from Sean Mosley. Nick Faust added eight points with eight rebounds for Maryland, which bounced back from its worst loss of the season at Virginia. The Terps head to Atlanta to square off against Georgia Tech on Saturday.
>>Hopkins Lax Survives Scare
(Baltimore, MD) -- The third-ranked Johns Hopkins lacrosse team survived a scare from number-16 Delaware, defeating the Blue Hens 8-6 last night. Brandon Benn led the way for the Bluejays with three goals and an assist. JHU is now 2-and-0 on the young season. They take on Siena this Saturday afternoon at Homewood Field.
>>Virginia Lax Trial Deliberations To Begin
(Charlottesville, VA) -- A jury will begin deliberations today in the murder trial for former Virginia lacrosse player George Huguely [[ HEW-glee ]]. The 24-year-old Chevy Chase native is accused of murdering his on-again, off-again girlfriend Yeardley [[ YARD-lee ]] Love in 2010. The 22-year-old Love, a Cockeysville native, was also a former Cavalier lacrosse player. Love died from blunt-forced trauma to the head in an incident the Commonwealth maintains was driven by Huguely. Depending on the verdict, Huguely could go free or serve life in prison. He has already been in jail for 21 months and could get credit for time served.
>>Caps Look To Bounce Back Against Sens
(Ottawa, Ontario) -- The Capitals are north of the border this evening to skate against the Ottawa Senators. Washington has dropped five-of-six and is tumbling down the Southeast Division standings. The Caps were embarassed, 5-0, on Monday at Carolina. Following the game with the Sens, the Capitals return home to face Montreal on Friday.
>>Wiz Return Home, Face Kings
(Washington, DC) -- The Wizards back home this evening to face the Sacramento Kings. Washington lost the final three contests of its five-game road trip after defeating Detroit and Portland at the front end. The Wiz sit at 7-and-25 on the season. Following tonight's home game, Washington is off until next Tuesday when they travel to face the Milwaukee Bucks.
