Forging a .500 record 10 games into the season usually isn't news. But doing so after an 0-3 start is an achievement for any program. That's where Towson sits after escaping Colonial Athletic Association foe Delaware with a 7-6 decision in overtime Friday night. The Tigers (5-5 overall and 1-0 league) have won three of their past four contests, and they overcame three-goal deficits to Navy and the Blue Hens and a two-goal hole to UMBC. But coach Shawn Nadelen didn't want to make too much of the team's reversal.

Maryland Democrats must be oblivious to the fact that people will buy gas where it is the least expensive ("Democratic plan raises gas tax," March 5). People, including truckers, going North or South on Interstate 95 will purchase fuel in either Delaware or Virginia avoiding paying more if Maryland is more expensive.
