Thankful Terps

It's a week for thankfulness and counting blessings all over the country. Here in College Park, the Terps aren't taking their opportunities to play for Maryland for granted. 

On this Thanksgiving week, many current Terp athletes from a variety of sports take time to reflect on what they're thankful for.

Women's Lacrosse

I’m thankful for the community that Maryland has been able to provide for myself and all the other athletes apart of the University. Being able to be apart of the Women’s Lacrosse program is an honor within itself but being surrounded by the best teammates, coaches professors, and support staff makes this experience one that is truly special. I couldn’t be more grateful for that!
