Solomon Eye Terp of the Week: Linnea Gonzales

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Each week during the 2018-19 season a Maryland student-athlete, who has shown excellence on and off the playing field, will be selected as the Solomon Eye Associates Terp of the Week. This week's Solomon Eye Associates Terp of the Week is Linnea Gonzales of the field hockey team.

Senior tri-captain Linnea Gonzales led Maryland to three wins over ranked teams on the week. She played multiple positions in the forward and midfield lines to help her team. Against No. 8 Michigan, Gonzales took over and scored both of the Terps' goals. In the 11th minute, she buried a shot off a penalty corner for the early lead. In the 45th minute, she gave Maryland the lead back when she dribbled to her left with her back to the goal and cracked a behind the back shot for the game-winner. With her two goals, she reached 40 career goals.

Her play all over the field helped Maryland to a 5-4, come-from-behind, double OT win at No. 5 Princeton. She placed the ball into the circle perfectly for teammates Madison Maguire and Bibi Donraadt to combine for the tying goal with 15 seconds left. She played 80 of 82 minutes. Against No. 23 Ohio State, she helped the Terrapin defense hold strong in the shutout win. They did not allow a shot in the second half.
