As the U.S. women’s national field hockey team gears up for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, four Terps will make their Olympic debut.
Leah Crouse, Emma DeBerdine, Brooke DeBerdine and Kelee Lepage are four of the 16 athletes representing the United States in the Olympics. Maryland has the most players from any school on the roster; Penn State, Northwestern and North Carolina each have two players.
Crouse, 24, graduated from Maryland in 2022 after spending the previous four years at Duke, where she tallied 18 goals and 16 assists. Her lone season at Maryland was one of her best, as she posted 10 goals and five assists as a midfielder/forward en route to an All-Big Ten second-team selection.
