Maryland women’s lacrosse put together a championship season in 2019, but the final weekend involved the shining of its brightest star. Senior goalie Megan Taylor not only won a second championship and the 2019 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player award, but put herself on a pedestal for the entire game of lacrosse to recognize.
After a dominant season, Taylor became the first goalkeeper, in men’s or women’s lacrosse, to win the sport’s most prestigious honor, the Tewaaraton Award. She managed to beat out reigning winner Sam Apuzzo, who led the nation in goals and helped bring Boston College to the title game.
