**COLLEGE PARK, MD** – Former Maryland Terrapins athletes are making headlines across professional sports and the college recruiting scene. Here’s a quick rundown of the latest news:

**WNBA:** Alyssa Thomas, a Terps women’s basketball legend, delivered a stellar performance in her return to Connecticut, as her Phoenix Mercury defeated the Sun 83-75. Thomas, traded to Phoenix in January after 11 seasons with Connecticut, nearly recorded a triple-double, finishing with 14 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds. The double-double also pushed her up the all-time WNBA rebounding list, placing her just behind fellow former Terp Crystal Langhorne. The game marked the fourth consecutive game in which Thomas recorded 10 or more assists, setting a Mercury franchise record and a personal best for her 12-year career.

**MLB:** In baseball, former Maryland second baseman Brandon Lowe blasted a game-tying two-run home run for the Tampa Bay Rays in their matchup against the Baltimore Orioles.

The Terps also extended offers to several promising young players, including 2028 linebacker Tysir Young, 2027 defensive tackle Jamar Thompson, and 2027 tight end Luke Brewer.
