The Official Maryland Women's Lacrosse All-Decade Team

The Maryland women's lacrosse program was named the Lacrosse Program of the Decade by Inside Lacrosse this month after winning five National Championships, making 10 Final Fours, winning eight Tewaaraton Awards and 16 conference championships over the past 10 years.

Over the last few weeks, fans voted through the website and social media to pick their official Maryland Women's Lacrosse All-Decade Team. The squad consists of three attackers, five midfielders, three defenders and one goaltender.

Here is the 2010-19 Maryland Women's Lacrosse All-Decade Team:
