PENN STATE STORYLINES

LOCKDOWN LIZZIE

A two-time IWLCA Third Team All-American and the No. 14 ranked player in all of lacrosse by Inside Lacrosse, redshirt senior Lizzie Colson leads the Maryland defense with her 135 career groundballs, 284 career draw controls and 76 career caused turnovers.
In Maryland's last win over Rutgers, Colson had one of the best games you'll see, recording a career-best seven groundballs, the most by a Terp since Katie Schwarzmann had seven in 2013 and a career-best six caused turnovers.
Colson has been named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week twice and was the IWLCA National Defensive Player of the Week after totaling 16 draw controls, nine groundballs and six caused turnovers against Ohio State.
The graduate student stands second in the country, averaging 3.11 caused turnovers per game and fifth in the country, averaging 3.89 groundballs per game. Colson leads the Big Ten in both categories.
Colson was named an Inside Lacrosse Midseason First Team All-American this past Friday.

HISTORIC HANNAH

Attacker Hannah Leubecker has starred for the Terps offensively through nine games this season, leading the Terps with 36 goals, the most goals by a Terp through eight games since at least 1993.
Leubecker stands 11th in the country, averaging 4.00 goals per game.
The sophomore has at least four goals in five of the nine games, with two seven goal games.
Leubecker was named an Inside Lacrosse Midseason Third Team All-American this past Friday.

B1G SCHEDULE. B1G DOMINANCE.

The Terps will play a Big Ten only schedule in 2021, playing each of the six conference opponents twice over the course of the season.

Including the postseason, the Terps are 44-5 against Big Ten competition since 2015.
