Towson suffered its first three-game sweep of the season at the hands of the No. 30 Pittsburgh Panthers last weekend when the team traveled to Pittsburgh, Pa. The Tigers (13-13, 5-4 Colonial Athletic Association) dropped both games of a double-header Friday before losing the series finale 7-5 Saturday afternoon. The Panthers (19-6) took an early 2-0 lead in the second inning of Saturday’s game. With runners on second and third, catcher Elvin Soto hit a [...]

Towson dropped its second consecutive game of the season Wednesday night to the No. 8 Virginia Cavaliers 7-1 in Charlottesville, Va. The Cavaliers (23-2, 7-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the third inning when they erupted for five runs, which proved to be too much for the Tigers (13-10, 5-4 Colonial Athletic Association) to overcome. “We’ve done it every year on an annual basis since 2006,” Head Coach Mike [...]

Towson dropped two of three at Old Dominion, including its final game of a double-header Saturday 13-4. In the nightcap of the double-header, the Monarchs (12-10, 4-5 Colonial Athletic Association) scored 10 runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to erase a 4-3 Tiger (13-9, 5-4 CAA) lead. “After we took the lead in the top of the eighth we all felt really confident that we were going to walk out with a win,” [...]

Towson’s two-game winning streak ended Wednesday evening to Pennsylvania 5-4 in the final game of a six-game home stretch at John B. Schuerholz Park. The Tigers (8-7, 1-2 Colonial Athletic Association), who fell behind early Tuesday but came back from a 5-0 deficit to win over the George Washington Colonials, tried to make it two straight come-from-behind victories, but fell short. “We didn’t come out as prepared as we should have,” junior third baseman Michael [...]

Towson ended its four-game losing streak, and avoided being swept by Colonial Athletic Association-rival Delaware, Sunday with a 19-14 victory at John B. Schuerholz Park.

At 11:30 a.m. Friday, freshman goalkeeper Felix Petermann found out the men’s soccer and baseball programs were being cut. Not through an official notice, but via Facebook. “One of my teammates posted something like ‘RIP men’s soccer’ and then I checked my email and saw it,” he said. Petermann said he was surprised to hear the news because President Maravene Loeschke had been deliberating the decision for so long — since October, after receiving a [...]

University President Maravene Loeschke announced in a press release Friday morning that she had approved of the recommendations to cut the sports of baseball and men’s soccer. This will be the last season for Towson baseball and the men’s soccer program has been discontinued effective immediately, according to the release. Loeschke’s recommendation follows the same one originally submitted by Director of Athletics Mike Waddell in October, which is to cut the two sports and add [...]

After winning its first two games of the series, Towson fell on the road to the Duke Blue Devils 8-6 Sunday in Durham, N.C. The Tigers (6-3) built a 4-3 lead through six innings, including two runs batted in and a run from junior outfielder Dominic Fratantuono. The Blue Devils (5-5), however, scored five unanswered runs in the seventh and eighth innings to pull away and avoid being swept. Starting pitcher Brandon Gonnella had a [...]

After winning its first game against Nicholls State Friday evening 3-1, Towson dropped its final two matchups of the series, falling 5-3 Saturday and 1-0 Sunday. The two losses are Towson’s first losses of the season and come after a four-game win streak. “A couple of our guys are frustrated,” Head Coach Mike Gottlieb said. “We struggled with the bat the last two games. We had a chance late [Saturday] to take the lead and [...]
