"Jasmine deserves this honor, and it's nice to see her gain such recognition," said Maryland head coach Brian Pensky. "She's a very important piece of our puzzle. Danielle is one of the top freshman in this very talented league. She too has been a handful all year for teams.
Having said all of this, we have a number of other kids within our team who have done enough to be recognized, so we truly believe that these honors are team in nature."
Spencer has enjoyed a breakthough season in her second year in the Terrapin program. The Bay Shore, N.Y., native started the year with the game-winning goal in the 3-0 win over Army and hasn't slowed up since. She leads the team with 23 points on nine goals and five assists. Her 23 points are already the most for a Terrapin in a season since 2003 when Kimmy Francis finished with 24. Her nine goals is also the most since 2004 when Mallory Mahar also had nine in her All-America season.
Hubka has been solid for the Terps in her first season in College Park. After missing the first two games due to injury, the Strongsville, Ohio, native scored her first career goal in her second game, the Terps' 5-2 win over Loyola. She earned a starting spot in the midfield in the team's 1-0 victory over No. 22 Santa Clara. She was moved from the midfield to forward early in the conference season and responded with the game-winning goal in the 4-0 win at Duke. Overall on the year Hubka has eight points on three goals and two assists. She is the first Maryland field player to earn All-Freshman honors since Nataly Arias was selected in 2004.
The Terrapins (12-4-2, 4-4-2 ACC) will open the postseason against No. 4 North Carolina in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament. The Terps and the Tar Heels are scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start at the WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C.
