Grill was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, making him the first player in Big Ten history to earn the title three consecutive weeks in a row. Grill was a key factor in the Terps’ win over No. 20 Johns Hopkins last Saturday, causing three turnovers and picking up four ground balls.

He earned the honor after tallying a career-high nine points (two goals, seven assists) against the Blue Jays, which is tied for the fifth-most points in a game in school history. Wisnauskas’ career-high seven assists are also the second most in a game in program history.
