GREENSBORO, N.C. - Senior midfielder Kelly Kasper was named the ACC, Inside Lacrosse, and WomensLax.com Player of the Week after recording nine goals and seven assists in Maryland's first two games of the season last weekend, both Terrapin wins. The Eldersburg, Md., native tied the school record with six assists in the Terps' victory at Boston College on Sunday.
Kasper, a captain and member of the Tewaaraton Watch List, opened the season with a career-high six goals at UMass on February 23. She also added an assist, ground ball, draw control, and caused turnover in Maryland's 18-7 win.
The next day in a 23-10 rout of Boston College, Kasper shared the wealth as she set a new career high with six assists while scoring three goals of her own. The nine points she recorded matched her previous best while the six assists tied the school record. She also racked up four draw controls, two ground balls, and forced a pair of turnovers.
The Terps (2-0, 1-0 ACC) head to Durham, N.C. on Saturday for a top-10 showdown between No. 6 Maryland and No. 3 Duke. Game time is set for noon at Koskinen Stadium.
