BALTIMORE, Md. - Maryland women's lacrosse head coach Cathy Reese has been named the US Lacrosse Coach of the Week, announced today. This is the second time Reese has earned the award which makes her the only coach this season, both on the men's and women's side, to garner the honor twice. She was also named the Coach of the Week on March 4.

Reese earned the award for Maryland's two wins against ranked opponents last week. The Terrapins opened the week with a 22-15 win against No. 13 Johns Hopkins on March 21. The Terps then knocked off previously unbeaten No. 1 North Carolina, 8-6, on March 24. The Terps held the Tar Heels to eight goals under their season average of 14.

Reese was also tabbed US Lacrosse Coach of the Week on March 4 for Maryland's wild 19-18 win against Duke at Ludwig Field. It was the first win against the Blue Devils since 2003 and it also snapped Duke's 12-game road winning streak that dated back to 2005.

Maryland (8-1, 3-1 ACC) is back in action on Wednesday, March 28 when it hosts Stanford at 3:00 p.m. at the Lacrosse & Field Hockey Complex. The game will be televised nationally by CSTV.
