During a recent practice for the Maryland women’s basketball program, redshirt freshman guard Zoe Young — the USA Today Player of the Year in Iowa who missed all of last season because of a torn ACL and is still unavailable after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery — took a shot from the court and made it. And freshman forward Angel Reese “went crazy for her,” according to coach Brenda Frese.
Frese recited that anecdote last week as an example of Reese’s leadership skills, and the Baltimore native and St. Frances graduate said taking charge even in her first year with the Terps is a familiar role.
