Edmondson, Gilmore, O'Ferrall Named USA Lacrosse Preseason All-Americans

COLLEGE PARK, MD – Kori Edmondson, Kayla Gilmore, and Neve O'Ferrall have been named Preseason All-Americans by USA Lacrosse Magazine, as announced on Tuesday.

Edmondson was named to the First team, while Gilmore and O'Ferrall earned Third Team honors.

Edmondson was named the Big Ten Midfielder of the Year last season and was a 2025 Tewaaraton Top 25 finalist. She earned unanimous All-Big Ten First Team honors and led the Terrapins' offense during a standout season. Edmondson tallied 65 points, including 54 goals, and was named Big Ten Midfielder of the Week five times. She concluded the year with All-American honors from USA Lacrosse, the IWLCA, and Inside Lacrosse.

She also earned Midseason First Team All-American honors from Inside Lacrosse and a spot on the All-Big Ten Tournament Team.

O'Ferrall, a senior and two-time captain, anchored Maryland's defense last season. As a junior, she helped shut down some of the top attackers in the country, recording 30 ground balls and 23 caused turnovers. During the Big Ten Tournament, she totaled six ground balls and four caused turnovers. In the Big Ten Championship Game against Northwestern, O'Ferrall helped limit the Wildcats to just two goals at halftime, their fewest in a first half since Feb. 18, 2018. Northwestern also scored a season-low total despite outshooting Maryland 41–19. O'Ferrall was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team.

Gilmore will enter her sophomore season after being named Big Ten Freshman of the Year. She made an immediate impact for the Terps, recording 14 goals and nine assists, while playing a key role in the draw circle with 73 draw controls. Gilmore earned All-Big Ten Second Team honors, was named to the inaugural All-Freshman Team, and was ranked the No. 7 freshman nationally by Inside Lacrosse.

The Terps will open the season on the road, traveling to face Syracuse in the Dome on Feb. 6.
