MM 8.11: Maryland men’s lacrosse alumni donate $1 million for facility upgrades
This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Former Maryland men’s lacrosse players Scott and Craig Hochstadt recently contributed $1 million to their alma mater, marking a noteworthy alumni donation within Maryland athletics. The substantial gift will fund critical renovations to the locker room, offices, meeting areas, and a dedicated space honoring the program’s rich history.
The Hochstadt brothers, sons of legendary Maryland coach Ira "Chief" Hochstadt, were deeply connected to the Terps. Growing up, they attended games at Byrd Stadium before joining the team. Following in their father's footsteps who captained the 1971 national finalist squad, Scott and Craig amassed numerous conference championships and tournament appearances during their careers.
This donation follows a long line of philanthropy within the Hochstadt family. Post their father's passing in 2025, the brothers continued his legacy by running various youth clinics and foundations.
