COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland closes out its regular season as it plays host to local rival George Washington and travels to the Louisiana State Invitational where it will face LSU and Alabama. The Terps are looking to close the regular season on a strong note and reach double figures in victories for a school-record fourth consecutive season. Maryland's game against George Washington marks the final regular season home game for seven seniors.
TERPS' SENIORS TO PLAY FINAL REGULAR SEASON HOME GAME
Seven Maryland seniors will play their final regular season home game against George Washington on Wednesday. Forwards Emmy Harbo (Baton Rouge, La.), Keri Sarver (Massillon, Ohio), midfielders Robin McCullough (Covington, Ga.) and Wendy Baldwin (Olney, Md.) and defenders Abby Bausman (Glen Arm, Md.), Marybeth Egan (Salem, Mass.) and Laura Varela (Aurora, Colo.) will all be honored before the game against the Colonials.
HARBO RETURNS HOME AS TERPS TRAVEL TO LSU
Emmy Harbo returns home this week as Maryland travels to play at the LSU Invitational. It marks the first time during her Maryland career that she has played in her home city, much less her home state. Harbo is Maryland's second all-time leader in goals, assists and total points.
SARVER, HARBO CONTINUE TO RANK AMONG ACC'S TOP 10
Keri Sarver and Emmy Harbo continue to rank among the top 10 scorers in ACC history. Sarver needs only three points to pass former NC State All-American Charmaine Hooper and move into seventh place all-time in league annals. Harbo is ranked 10th in ACC history.

SERRINS WITH CAREER-HIGH 13 SAVES AGAINST WAKE FOREST
Sophomore goalkeeper Riki-Ann Serrins (Mission Viejo, Calif.) recorded a career-high 13 saves against No. 14 Wake Forest.

SARVER RETURNS TO LINEUP
Senior forward Keri Sarver returned to Maryland's lineup against No. 14 Wake Forest for the first time since injuring her shoulder against No. 4 Connecticut on Oct. 11.

SERRINS GAINS FIRST CAREER POINT
Sophomore goalkeeper Riki-Ann Serrins was credited with her first career point against No. 14 Wake Forest. Serrins earned an assist in Maryland's second goal of the game by junior midfielder Emily Janss (Brandon, Fla.). Serrins becomes only the second goalkeeper in school history to earn an offensive point. Last season, Ali Wolff scored a goal against No. 4 Duke on Oct. 17.
JANSS ADDS TO GOAL TOTAL
Junior midfielder Emily Janss scored her third goal of the season against No. 14 Wake Forest. She has now scored eight career goals and has 16 total points. All three of Janss' goals have come on the road this season and her goal against Texas on Sept. 25 proved to be the game-winner as the Terps defeated the Longhorns, 3-1.
KEYES MARKS RETURN TO FULL HEALTH
Senior defender Tiffany Keyes (Harrisburg, Pa.) marked a return to full health from an early- season knee injury as she played all 116 minutes of Maryland's overtime game against No. 14 Wake Forest.
