COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland women's lacrosse freshman defender Emma Schettig was selected to Inside Lacrosse's 2020 All-Rookie Team, the publication announced Tuesday.
Schettig is one of 10 freshmen to be named to Inside Lacrosse's All-Rookie Team and the only defender on the list.
This is the second honor for Schettig in the past week, as last week she was named a second team all-american by Inside Lacrosse. The Woodbine, Md. native is the first Terp to be placed on the All-Rookie Team since Grace Griffin in 2018.
In Maryland's shortened six game season, Schettig shined as a freshman, leading the Terps with 17 groundballs and nine caused turnovers, while ranking second with 16 draw controls. The freshman stepped into a starting role right away, picking up four groundballs and causing two turnovers in Maryland's season opener at George Mason.
In the Terps home contest against #4 Syracuse, Schettig tallied a game-best five groundballs and three caused turnovers, earning her Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors. Her five groundballs were the most by any Maryland freshman since 2016. In total, Schettig had four games with three or more groundballs, three games with two or more caused turnovers and won seven draw controls in each of the Terps final two games. Schettig ranked third in the Big Ten in caused turnovers and fourth in groundballs.
Schettig led a Maryland freshman class that was ranked number one heading into the season and saw six members play a crucial role in Maryland's 2020 season. The 2020 freshmen class combined for 20 goals, six assists, 26 points, 25 draw controls, 31 groundballs, 10 caused turnovers and 13 saves over Maryland's six games.
