Share this story
Like many college teams around the country, the COVID-19 pandemic hit Maryland women’s lacrosse hard.
“You feel like you just got hit by a truck,” head coach Cathy Reese said.
The Terps started the 2020 season at 1-3, a new low for head coach Cathy Reese during her illustrious tenure, but bounced back with solid victories against Navy and Hofstra to put the Terps back at .500 ahead of conference play.
But just as quickly as the Terrapins seemed to be turning its season around, the floor was swept out from underneath them as the coronavirus pandemic halted the season.
Maryland women’s lacrosse stars Lizzie Colson, Brindi Griffin, and Grace Griffin were named Preseason All-Americans by
Inside Lacrosse Monday.
Colson, a redshirt senior and defender, took home first-team honors. Fifth-year attacker Brindi Griffin and senior midfielder Grace Griffin earned third-team and honorable mention honors, respectively.
Now a three-time All-American, Colson has also amassed multiple All-Big Ten and All-Big Ten tournament awards over her career in College Park despite missing all of 2020 with an ACL injury. Ranked as the 14th best player in the country by
Inside Lacrosse, Colson rode a historic 2019 effort to a National Championship with the Terps.
