Get to Know: LaRen Blakesley

The Maryland women's lacrosse program welcomes seven new players to the fold as part of its 2020 freshman class as the Terps work towards their 2021 season. Over the next several weeks, umterps.com will get to know each of the seven newcomers. This week, we meet LaRen Blakesley.
