College Park, MD -- Maryland field hockey players Josie Hollamon, Hope Rose and Maura Verleg have been named to the Big Ten Players to Watch list, as announced by the conference on Wednesday.
 
Hollamon enters her freshman season with the Terps after a stellar high school and club career. She is a member of the U.S. U-21 Women's National Team. The Delmar, Delaware native, competed in the Junior Pan American Championship in April 2023 and the FIH Hockey  Pro League in July 2023.

Rose is a three-time selection to this preseason list and continues to be a consistent asset for Maryland. She earned Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2021. The following year, Rose led the Terps in points with 36 from 14 goals and eight assists. She will compete with Hollamon on the U.S. Women's National Team later this year. 
 
Verleg returns to Maryland for her fifth year. Recently named co-captain for the 2023 season, she has been a reliable defender for the Terps since she arrived in 2020. Verleg has started in all 60 games she has played, tallying 33 career points from seven goals and 19 assists.

Maryland field hockey returns to action on Friday, August 25 as they face Stanford for the first match of the season. Play begins at 3 p.m. and can be streamed on Pac-12 Insider.
