As a junior on last year’s undefeated, national championship-winning Maryland women’s lacrosse team, Megan Whittle led the Terrapins’ offense. She scored an astounding 71 goals on the season while also adding 16 assists. Although senior Zoe Stukenberg won the prestigious Tewaaraton Award, it was actually Whittle’s 87 points that led Maryland.
Named one of the four team captains in January, it’s up to her to make sure this team defends their national championship and makes it to Stony Brook in May for the Final Four. And although the season is just two games old, it seems that Whittle is ready for the job.
