Maryland 'Optimistic' on Schultz’s Return This Week
Terrapin sophomore midfielder Jack Schultz missed the season-opener vs. Loyola due to injury, coach John Tillman confirmed postgame, but said he was optimistic the All-Big Ten Freshman from 2025 would be able to play Friday vs. Syracuse.
A member of the USA U20 Team that competed in South Korea in August, the 6-foot, 190-pound middie scored eight goals and added six assists last season. Expected to float between the first and second lines that featured Chris Lyons, Zach Whittier, Elijah Stobaugh, Spencer Ford, Aiden Aitken and Matthew Higgins, Schultz brings a unique blend of dodging and playmaking.
Melendez ‘Day-to-Day' For Ohio State
A week after the Buckeyes were dealt with a serious blow when No. 1 cover defenseman Bobby Van Buren was ruled out for the season with an ACL tear, their marquee transfer Russell Melendez missed their second game vs. Cleveland State.
In his place, 5-Star Ohio native Khalif Hocker scored one of his six shots upon an early return from an ACL tear of his own last year. Hocker wore a large brace on his left leg
Melendez’s injury has been confirmed by a team spokesperson as “day to day.”
Erdmann Out For Season, Schroter, Terenzi Day-to-Day
Virginia midfielder Will Erdmann will miss the 2026 season with an injury, a team spokesman confirmed Monday.
The former 4-Star prospect from the Class of 2023 was a key member of the Cavs’ shortstick defense and transition unit in 2025. The Cavs’ transition unit got a workout indoors against Colgate on Saturday, where Wills Burt was a standout in that group.
All-America defenseman John Schroter also did not play in that win. He is considered day-to-day, as is senior two-way middie Joey Terenzi. Michael Meredith, Tommy Snyder and Aidan Murnane started at close defense.
