COLLEGE PARK, Md. - One of Maryland's all-time greats will be honored on Sunday, Feb. 24 when the women's basketball team hosts Florida State. The Terps will honor Crystal Langhorne's No. 1 in a ceremony at the conclusion of the game. Her jersey number will hang from the rafters alongside former Terrapin greats Vicky Bullett, Shay Doron, Tara Heiss and Jasmina Perazic.
Crystal Langhorne (Willingboro, N.J./Willingboro) became Maryland's all-time leading scorer and rebounder this season. She is the only Terrapin women's basketball player to score 2,000 points and the first to grab 1,000 rebounds. One of two players in Maryland men's or women's basketball history with 1,000 boards, she is the school's all-time leading rebounder, while also becoming the only men's or women's player in College Park to have 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. Langhorne owns or ranks in the top five in 12 career records at Maryland. She recently broke the program mark for field goals made in the win at Duke.
Langhorne is the Maryland women's basketball program's only multiple All-American, garnering the recognition by the Associated Press and the United State Basketball Writers Association in the last two years. She was also a Kodak/WBCA All-American last season. Langhorne is a three-time All-ACC honoree, twice earning a spot on the first team, and was the 2005 ACC Rookie of the Year. The ACC's Preseason Player of the Year this season, she holds the school record for career ACC Player of the Week (6) nods, earning the honor three times this season.
Langhorne also is among the all-time greats in NCAA history. She was the 106th player all-time to collect 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. Her career 65.2 field goal shooting percentage ranks in the top five in NCAA Division I women's basketball history. It also ranks in the top 10 in NCAA history across all divisions.
Langhorne is a three-time national player of the year candidate and she was a finalist for the WBCA's Wade Trophy and John R. Wooden Award last year. She was the NCAA Albuquerque Region Most Outstanding Player in 2006 the year the Terps made their national championship run. A three-time ACC Honor Roll honoree, she was an ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-American last year.
The fourth-ranked Terps return to action against the Seminoles this weekend. Maryland will also honor its seniors for Senior Day prior to the start of the game. The 2007-08 senior class is the winningest class in the history of the program.
