Things did not look appealing for St. Mary's when the team opened March with three losses in four contests to fall to 2-4. Since then, however, the program has strung together seven consecutive wins - a run it hasn't enjoyed since 2006. The Seahawks are 9-4 overall and 4-0 in the Capital Athletic Conference, but coach Chris Hasbrouck did his best to downplay any fervor as they prepare for No. 6 Salisbury (12-3, 5-0) this Saturday and York (11-3, 3-1) next Saturday. “We've just been plugging away,” he said Thursday morning.

It took former Ravens safety Bernard Pollard a little over a week to find a new home. Pollard has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans, putting him back in the AFC South, his agent, Tory Dandy confirmed on Twitter this morning. Pollard, 28, played two seasons with the Houston Texans before signing with the Ravens. In a somewhat surprising move, the Ravens released Pollard on March 13 despite the fact that he was their leading tackler this past season.

Unlike Wednesday's snowstorm that failed to materialize amid forecasters' dire predictions, the Blizzard of '93 roared into Maryland the weekend of March 13-14 with a wallop, dumping a foot of snow on Baltimore while raking the state with almost hurricane-like winds before racing northward into New England. The cyclonic storm was born over the Gulf of Mexico on March 12, and at its maximum, it extended from Canada to Central America. It bore down on Cuba, where it killed 10, and then turned its ferocity on the East Coast.

Towson may have reached a low point in the season when Navy turned a 2-1 halftime deficit into 6-3 advantage after the third quarter en route to a 10-6 victory March 13. But since that disappointing outcome, the Tigers have strung together three straight victories, a pattern capped by Saturday night's 13-8 thumping of Colonial Athletic Association rival Delaware. Some obvious factors for the team's success include an offense that has scored at least 10 goals in each of those wins and the play of junior faceoff specialist Ian Mills, who has won 40-of-57 draws over that same span.

There aren't many local bands with a repertoire quite like the Egg Babies Orchestra. Composed of a rotating cast of musicians from Baltimore's indie rock scene, the Egg Babies Orchestra plays only a handful of shows each year, and performs only covers of other people's music. The past couple of concerts have been Movie Shows, where the band performs a tune from a movie soundtrack while a clip from the film plays on a screen behind them. The group never plays the same song twice, and most of the material comes from '80s flicks.

The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore will reopen March 13, but some exhibits will remain closed to visitors after damage caused by February's historic snowstorms, a zoo spokeswoman said Tuesday. The zoo's March 1 opening was postponed when storms brought down trees and destroyed two aviaries, causing $1.5 million in damage, and the costs of repairs, employee overtime and lost revenue have provided more challenges as the institution tries to emerge from recent financial difficulties. The African Aviary might not reopen until the fall, zoo spokeswoman Jane Ballentine said.

The Baltimore Blast has postponed Friday night's home game against the Philadelphia KiXX, rescheduling the contest for Saturday, March 13 at 1st Mariner Arena.
